Each year strong, successful women business owners in non-traditional fields are selected to sit on a panel

to talk about their pathway to success. They are discussing what they have learned along the way with tips

for other business owners on how they can be successful. This year MEED has partnered with WBEC-West

to bring you a panel of women in the construction industry who have broken stereotypes, boundaries and

glass ceilings, helping to build our economy and carving a path for women business owners today. Get the

chance to talk to them about some of the tools in their toolbox and to learn about the pitfalls and their

successes.

You will also have the opportunity to hear from the Executive Director, National Facilities Services Colorado

at Kaiser Permanente on what they are looking for and why they support diverse suppliers. Learn tips from

a corporation on how you too can utilize all of the tools in your business toolbox.
