“This will be an enriching experience for female business owners and start-ups,” said Sharyn Moreland, director of the Tennessee Small Business Development Center. “We anticipate over 300 female business leaders will spend the morning generating new ideas for their businesses and community,” added Moreland.
Sue Malone, founder of Strategies for Small Business, Solutions for Success, will facilitate the symposium, and Dr. Donna Van Natten will share ideas on how women in business can become more effective through the use of effective body language. “Our bodies speak volumes in a business situation; awareness needs to be intentional,” said Dr. Van Natten.
