The Women’s Exchange of Washtenaw Steering Committee has been gearing up for our first event, Wednesday, May 7. Every time we meet, the energy in the room seems to grow, and now it has spread across the region. I’ve been receiving emails from people who are ready to register. The wait is almost over. We will be posting registration details soon, and look for more information to come to your email inbox as well.

Our first event will be a day to remember. You will have the opportunity to exchange with women in an exciting, innovative forum. Our goal is for you to feel that you connected with someone new, discovered a new way to grow your business, and exchanged ideas by the end of the day.

I also just received some news about our panel of speakers. Our goal was to invite a panel of speakers that could address some of the major business issues of the day—managing growth, leadership, and relationship-building. Watch this space for an announcement about the panel, the list of speakers, and their bios. I think the panelists will bring stories to share, lessons learned, and advice that will speak to all of us.
