Great Dames held the first of a three-part series of Powerful Conversations on Monday night The event featured a panel discussion with women innovators who are launching new enterprises, ranging from The Good Life, a new type of retirement community to Waggies by Maggie and Friends, a Wilmington-area enterprise that bakes dog biscuits and only employs individuals with intellectual disabilities.
The event also featured young entrepreneurs who made one-minute “elevator pitches” on their plans. An event at the Horn Center at the University of Delaware was postponed last week, due to weather.
Great Dames has a goal of helping “strong and accomplished women and men activate their strengths through a pragmatic and integrated approach incorporating personal leadership branding, co-mentoring and public service,” according to the organization.
Two other Powerful Conversations will be held on April 13 and May 11. The April 10th event will feature NBC 10 journalist Tracy Davidson, with women writers wrapping up the series in May.
