Several Sisters attended the second annual Soar Women’s Empowerment Summit in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from February 24 – 25, 2017. The Summit is a global market conference for women around the world that focuses on “women supporting women.” Attendees include entrepreneurs, business professionals, book authors, film producers, and women seeking growth-building opportunities.
While there, Sisters promoted women in the trades, distributing recruitment materials and discussing job opportunities. The conference allowed for a lot of interaction among women from different backgrounds and experiences. Everyone learned a lot and Sisters felt the experience was very valuable.
While at the event, the Sisters used the flyer as one of their marketing materials. Pictured with Sisters at the display table is Barb Pecks, International SIB member and coordinator for committees in the North Central States Regional Council.
