YWCA Celebrates 90th Anniversary with Breakfast Series

The YWCA Lake County celebrates its 90th Anniversary Celebration with their third of a four series breakfast sessions aimed at professional women. The next session will be held on Friday, September 7, at White Deer Run Golf Club in Vernon Hills. 

Attendees will hear a panel discussion on the topic of the Power of Entrepreneurship and Intrapreneurship. The power of the entrepreneur emerges from the population on demand; they become leaders because they perceive available opportunities and are well positioned to take advantage of them.

The power of the intrapreneur applies these same skill sets when developing new business opportunities within a company.

Panelists from Presenting 90th Sponsor Macy's will include Sue Malone, Founder, Strategies For Small Business, Chris Corley, Senior VP Corporate Sales, CDW, Michelle Lanter Smith, VP of Marketing, EPAY Systems, Inc., and the moderator is Roneida Martin, Executive Director of the Workforce and Professional Development Institute at College of Lake County.

Cost is $30 per person. Corporate tables can be purchased for $225 for a table of eight. Networking begins at 7 a.m., breakfast and program start at 7:45 a.m. and conclude at 9:30 a.m. Tickets can be ordered online or by calling 847-406-5694.
