\nAs professional and business women\, we take care of business all the time...from taking care of our families to ensuring successes with our \;careers\, we'\;re busy! \; \;How do we do it all or do we have to? \; How do we survive the overwhelming responsibilities we \;often face? \; How \;do we \;maintain our energy and keep on?\n\n
\;\n
\n\nJoin CWBN for lunch and panel discussion with professional women who will discuss how they have been taking care of business through the good times and struggles\, positives and negatives\, all with strength and character. \;One panelist maxed out her credit cards to start her business\; another started a foundation to help children and families after the death of her child\; another struggled to work and pay for her education\; and another lost a great-paying job and experienced divorce. \;And\, their stories will inspire you because these extraordinary women have many successes.
\n\n \;
\n\nDebra Morgan\, anchor with WRAL-TV will moderate the panel discussion with Carrie Peele (CEO\, Blue Diamond Worldwide Transportation)\; Stephanie Beasley (Radiology Instructor with Johnston Community College)\; Lori Lee (Founder\, Me Fine Foundation)\; Crystal Roberts (Owner\, Mountaintop Productions)\; and Leonor Clavijo (Executive Director\, North Carolina Hispanic Chamber of Commerce). \;
