businessWORKS! RECAP
|
On April 10, 2014, at the Irving Convention Center, the Women's Business Council - Southwest hosted its annual expo and trade show, businessWORKS! With over 90 exhibitors and over 500 attendees, the room was buzzing with business! Although the tallies haven't officially been counted for Done Deals™, we know of several deals sealed with a handshake on the day of the event.
Thank you to our sponsors who helped make this event possible. We also want to thank the businessWORKS! committee members for the hours dedicated to the success of this event. Last but not least, event co-chairs, Jesse Crawford with Verizon and Sou Lam with Ad-A-Staff, Inc. lead the entire group and helped make this an event to remember; WBCS is so grateful for their dedication and support.
