East Tennessee Regional Economic Summit for Women

Women Business Owners' Opportunity Conference

Our Impact

"One of the most important aspects of developing leaders and empowering women is access to those who have already succeeded. Where else do women in Tennessee have the chance to hear Sandra Day O'Connor, Helen Thomas or Gloria Steinem than the Economic Summit? Where can you have immediate access to women who are leaders in the fields of law, healthcare, accounting, business and finance? The Economic Summit for Women gives us access to these experts in a way that is both informative inspiring and challenging."

"What a wonderful Summit. It was the best I have been to yet."

"The Economic Summit gives women of all ages, experience and interests the opportunity to meet, network and compare notes about their successes and challenges. The Summit reminds us that gender does matter and that we are making significant differences in this difficult economy. If our communities are going to change, economically and otherwise, women will lead the way. The Summit both celebrates this fact and empowers us to act."
