Save the Date: Women in Business Expo 2008

The 2nd Annual Women in Business Expo will be held Saturday, Aug. 16, 2008 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Tallahassee Community College. The expo allows participants to mix, mingle and do business with women-owned businesses. I met some great business leaders last year and I'm sure this year's event will be equally as good. Educational sessions are inspiring, too.
