Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito is the featured morning speaker. Hear her thoughts on women’s enterprise throughout the Commonwealth. She is followed by a panel discussion with peer entrepreneurs led by Deborah Penta of Penta Communications on overcoming challenges and soaring to success with audience participation.

 

TD Bank will then give a presentation on Best Practices for “Preparing for Bank Financing”. Come learn from the source what banks really need from you!

 

The afternoon starts with lunch speakers Margareth Shepard, Framingham City Councilor and Lisa Dowd, founder of Cheesy Street Grill. Councilor Shepard is the first Brazilan American elected to City Council in Framingham and is a life long entrepreneur. Lisa Dowd did a mid career change from corporate executive to top notch entrepreneur. She has been so successful that she was on the Rachel Ray show! After lunch there will be three simultaneous workshops:

 

  • How to Grow Your Business with a Government Contract
  • Social Media That Works for YOUR Business
  • Building Your Personal and Business Brand Success

 

*PRE-REGISTRATION is required for these workshops – sign up as you register for the event.
