Testimonials
I was thrilled to speak at the 19th Annual Women’s Business Conference sponsored by the Western Wisconsin Women's Business Center. It was such a fabulous conference! This event provided us with the perfect setting to share, learn from each other, network and I even got a few hugs. Can’t wait for next year's conference! If you have the chance, I highly recommend attending.
