“Building on the success of last year’s women in business series, this year’s events will highlight even more women entrepreneurs and continue to stimulate an interest in entrepreneurship throughout our state,” said Lt. Governor Skillman. “The women in business seminars provide participants with excellent networking and educational opportunities with a local emphasis. I encourage any woman interested in entrepreneurship to attend.”

Each seminar provides Hoosier businesswomen with technical and educational resources as well as networking opportunities. Success stories of how rural women have launched successful entrepreneurial careers will be featured. Attendees can look forward to panel discussions, Lt. Governor Skillman’s keynote address and other notable speakers.

The registration fee for each one-day seminar is $20.00 per person. Each event will be held from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. and lunch is included. Dates are as follows: Rensselaer, June 19; Jasper, June 26; Marion, July 8; and Madison, July 22.
