The evolution of Women in Business

9/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Women in Business continues to evolve beyond our annual awards luncheon in December. 

In March, the Chamber hosted 17 college women from the University of Central Arkansas and Central Baptist College for a Women in Business roundtable. In September, more than 125 women professionals attended an invitation-only program focusing on “Advancing Women to the Top.” 

Natalie Safertal Masri, senior director of special projects for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Center for Women in Business, was the featured guest. She shared best practices of Fortune 500 companies that excel at promoting and developing women on corporate boards and in top management positions.

Following Ms. Masri’s insightful talk, a panel made up of five, local women leaders shared their career experiences. The panelists included the following professionals:

  • Jayme Mayo, Nabholz Construction
  • Cinda Montgomery, Yours Truly Consignment Shop
  • Trinina Pouncy, Conway Public Schools
  • Nancy Sims, Regions Bank
  • Patti Stobaugh, PattiCakes Bakery/Stoby’s Restaurant
  • Moderator: LaTresha Woodruff, Conway Police Department

The “Advancing Women to the Top” program was presented by Crafton Tull and Kimberly-Clark. Thanks to Southwestern Energy for hosting the inaugural event.

The fourth annual Women in Business awards luncheon is Tuesday, December 1, at Centennial Valley Events Center. The Chamber is accepting nominations through Wednesday, September 30. Submit a nomination.
