Register for Connecting Women in Business luncheon on Tuesday, June 16 - Featuring Beth Marcello, Director of Women's Business Development at PNC Bank

The luncheon topic is: Are You Really an Advocate for Women? Hugging, Hiring & Helping: Three Solutions for Strengthening the Sisterhood 

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said, "There's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." Her statement resonated in 2006 -- and it's even more relevant now that women control the majority of wealth in the U.S. and are starting businesses at nearly  twice the rate of men. Yet even well-meaning women don't fully exercise their power to be helpful to their sisters in business. Join us on June 16 to learn how you can help create a brighter future for your female colleagues and set an example for the next generation of female leaders.

 Beth Marcello, director of Women's Business Development for PNC, has a one-of-a-kind job. Across PNC's 19-state branch footprint, she supports the success of women who own or run businesses by helping their bankers better understand what's important to them. Under her leadership, the bank's corps of PNC-Certified Women's Business Advocates has increased to nearly 1,500 men and women - growing 30% in 2014 alone.
