WSWE Presents Passion and Profitability

Event October 15, 2009, by West Suburban Women Entrepreneurs

West Suburban Women Entrepreneurs (WSWE) presents “Passion and Profitability,” from 8 a.m. to noon October 15 at William Tell Banquets, Holiday Inn, 6201 W. Joliet Road, Countryside. Advance registration is encouraged.

How do small business entrepreneurs take their passion and make it profitable during challenging economic times? Ellen Rogin, an often-quoted expert in the field of life and wealth planning who has appeared on PBS’s Chicago Tonight, will moderate a panel of three successful women business founder-owners who will explore passion as a critical attribute of success, while keeping a sharp eye on the bottom line.

Panelists are: Maureen O’Brien of exterior remodeling company O’Brien & Son, Inc.; Catherine Riddick of XPonent Group, Ltd.; and Nancy Sharp of Food for Thought in Chicago.

Major event sponsors at release time are Itasca Bank & Trust Co., Chef Joe’s Cookies and XPonent Group, Ltd.

West Suburban Women Entrepreneurs was founded in September 2002 to educate, facilitate and support entrepreneurial women in the western suburbs. Monthly meetings feature speakers on a variety of relevant topics as well as informal networking.

The event includes full breakfast. Details, registration forms and online registration can be found at www.wswe.org. For additional information, contact Sheila Welsch at 630-954-6336 or Sheila_welsch@ml.com.
