Greetings Entrepreneurs:
 
The past year's difficult economic environment has indeed presented entrepreneurs with unique challenges. And yet, despite these seemingly insurmountable circumstances, many women business owners have forged ahead, finding rare opportunities to make perhaps long-needed changes. As a result, businesses are experiencing a kind of Renaissance, a rebirth of their enterprises, as they thoroughly examine all aspects of their companies to determine steps necessary for survival and strategies for long term success.
  
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new educational event, "Women's Entrepreneurial Symposium", March 9, 2010 at Seton Hill University's new, state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center, located in downtown Greensburg, PA.
  
The morning will be filled with motivation and humor as keynote speaker Cindy Solomon, of Solomon & Associates, will get things started by motivating you to transform your organization into an organization that adapts to change with cheers, rather than jeers!
 
Following Cindy, we will host a "super panel" of women entrepreneurs discussing and debating actions they have taken to address their rebirth of their businesses. 
 
I hope you will be able to join us for this entrepreneurial renaissance event.
