SUMMARY:WE Forum: Meeting the Needs of Women Entrepreneurs - A Conversation About Support Systems
DESCRIPTION:Meeting the Needs of Women Entrepreneurs - A Conversation About Support Systems\n\nLooking to find out what type of support is out there? Have an idea about what else is needed? Join Christine Beech\, Amanda Leightner\, and the women entrepreneurs from our region for a conversation about what support is out there for local business owners\, as well as an exploration of what is still needed. We will discuss the future of the WE Forum and also share the results of a survey Amanda conducted with 100 regional entrepreneurs and what we can do with the information. Join the conversation!\n\n\n\nWhat is the WE Forum?\n\nThe Women Entrepreneurs (WE) Forum was launched in 2019 to provide free educational programming for women who are running a business\, as well as those who are seeking to start a business. The idea started as a partnership between Saint Mary's University and the Rochester Area Economic Development Inc. (RAEDI)\, and as we enter 2020\, we have a new partner in the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce. This partnership is indicative of the desire and commitment of all three organizations to support new business start ups and ensure they have the right training and networks to succeed.\n\n\n\nWhat Happens at our Events?\n\nEach month we gather for a time of networking followed by a panel of speakers who have deep experience in the topic to be discussed. The panel is moderated\, with lots of room for questions from the attendees to ensure the discussion is relevant\, informed by experience\, and addresses the real questions women have when running a business.\n\n\n\nWhy Join Us?\n\nThese events have proven to be valuable networking and learning events for women business owners. It is a chance to hear from those who have faced the same challenges and hear how they navigated those challenges to become successful entrepreneurs. Come and meet other Rochester area women who are passionate about their ideas and their business. You may find your next client or business partner!
