A huge round of applause for creating an environment that allows us to show up as our authentic selves.
I was so delighted with the level of engagement by our fantastic women and the meaningful discourse that can change our city in no small way. (And set a tone for the nation!)

I wanted to share the news that I completed a management buy-out transaction today and purchased Foxtrot Marketing Group from our parent company! I seriously couldn’t have done it without the encouragement, advice, and unwavering support from so many amazing women in the Bizwomen Leadership Council.
To have a group of amazingly talented women on the sidelines cheering you on to success is the best feeling. I’m so happy to be part of the BLC!

Jill Haspert
CEO

Thank you so much for the chance to connect with members as an invited individual to be a highlighted member. It was an honorable opportunity to do so.

Thank you both for the amazing evening and connection last night. I was very impressed by the POWER of women leaders in that room and learned so much from just the small table talk and panel discussion. I appreciate the invite and look forward to achieving life alongside both of you and the strong women that are part of the group.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of something special.
