Inspiring Women in Business Luncheon - Edmonton Chamber of Commerce
Guest User
On March 5th, 2020, a group of students from the Nellie McClung Jr. High girls’ program assisted and participated in the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce’s Inspiring Women in Business luncheon, presented by CPA Alberta. The Nellie students, representing grades eight and nine, arrived prior to the event to help prepare and place all of the swag bags given to attendees. When the doors opened, the Nellie students welcomed attendees as they made their way into the ballroom.
The Inspiring Women in Business luncheon, held at the Sutton Place Hotel in the week preceding International Women’s day on March 8th, was attended by over 200 people. The event featured a panel of local women who excel in their respective businesses, including: Karen Brookman, President & CEO, West Canadian Digital Imaging; Laura Didyk, National Lead, Women Entrepreneurs, BDC; and Jacqueline Jacek, Owner, Jacek Chocolate Couture. With over 70 years business expertise combined, the panel overwhelmingly inspired all in attendance. Only time will tell, but maybe in the future Nellie alumnae will be sharing their knowledge to inspire others!
