Recession To Renaissance

Viewing the present as an exciting time in which new opportunities can emerge, women entrepreneurs not only recognize that change and agility is needed to guide their businesses through a period of recession, but also know that they will not operate their businesses in the same way going forward.

The stage has been set!  Seton Hill University’s E-Magnify is pleased to announce the launch of a new educational event - A 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. This event succeeds its highly successful “Building A World Class Business” Conference.

Keynote Speaker: Cindy Solomon - Nationally recognized speaker, consultant and executive coach will discuss “The Customer of the Future™: Creating True Customer and Employee Loyalty.” Cindy will motivate you through her humorous motivational style to transform your organization into an organization that adapts to change with cheers, rather than jeers!

Panel Discussion:
A “super panel” of women entrepreneurs discussing and debating actions they have taken to address the rebirth of their businesses will follow the keynote address.
