We would like to acknowledge the outstanding workshops lead by Brenda Fair and Kathy Jourdain. They generated lively discussion and fresh ideas for our women in business.
The keynote speaker, Lynn Casey, entertained luncheon guests recounting the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. She demonstrated how determination does pay off!
Also thanks to our panel members Rosmarie Bradley, Anne Fouillard, Christie Chaplin-Saunders, and Gwen Smith. Each provided frank and thoughtful insights on starting and growing their businesses.
Spring into Business would like to express our appreciation for the generous financial support from our sponsors. This notable group include:

- South Shore Opportunities
- Lunenburg Queens Regional Development Agency
- The Clipper
