Winter Networking Gathering Jan. 12, 2010

womeninbusinesshighland — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 14:38:24 +0000

So many times when we hear about a networking event we think this is about having a business card to hand out to everyone. We often hear the phrase “work the room” when you are at a networking event. I particularly have found it hard to “work the room” and felt that when I spend most of my time with one or two persons at a networking vent I had not done my job of promoting my business. Then a sage businessperson told me, that is what networking was about. Building relationships which means spending time with a person to understand their business, their drive, why they are in this business, what their hobbies are their favorite sports teams, well you get the idea. January 12th 2010, the Highland Business Association, White Lake Township Business Association and Women In Business to have a dedicated 7:00pm-9:00pm at Dave & Amy’s in White Lake to allow their members the opportunity to build business and personal relationships away from all the demands of business, and personal lives. It is tempting to say forget this networking event after having worked a full day and the quiet and relaxation of home is calling I would ask you reconsider and set aside this time to find someone who may know that impossible business owner you have been trying to see or someone new whose product you may be able to use who is local and has added customer service and value than the big box store you have been using or catch up with an associate you haven’t seen in a while. Start the new year by gathering with old friends and meeting new at Dave & Amy’s (www.daveandamys.com) they are located at 9595 Highland Road White Lake, MI 48386-2314 and can be reached at (248) 698-2010. While you are there please welcome our newest members to the White Lake Township Business Association. This event is always well attended, with appetizers provided and a cash bar, so please RSVP to (248) 889-1422 so there is enough for everyone.

Women’s Enrichment Day

womeninbusinesshighland — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 15:23:55 +0000

The 7th Annual Women’s Enrichment Day is planned for Saturday, March 20, 2010. The purpose of Women’s Enrichment Day is to provide the women of our community an event full of information, entertainment & inspiration. The day starts with a continental breakfast and beverage. There will be four sessions of 10 workshops each session. Each workshop lasts 45 minutes which can be signed up for online or if there are openings, the day of the event.

The workshops in the past have included: Redesigning your Living Space, The Joy of Quilting, Watercolor demonstrations, Health Eating for Families, Pilates and there is so much more available. In addition, we have invited many local businesses to personally explain how their products can assist you, so many times we are unaware of small at home businesses that may be in our own backyard – the lady who makes slip covers or cornices, the interior decorator, or the painter who can faux paint your powder room to look like it came from Tuscany.

This event costs $5.00 per person and those monies are donated to The Huron Valley Educational Foundation which is a nonprofit foundation that helps educators in the Huron Valley School District bring unique opportunities to students. The Huron Valley Educational Foundation funds grants for educational field trips, fine arts, performing arts, multi-cultural events, robotics, technology and new learning experiences for our children.

So not only can women have a day with no children, breakfast provided (lunch can be purchased) but there are lots for fun activities to participate in and the registration monies go back to assist our community. Oh and did I mention the ULTIMATE MAKEOVER? One lucky lady will win a chance to transform her life with a 3 month makeover.

The event will again be held at Highland Middle School, 305 John Street, Highland, MI. This event is sponsored by Women in Business, a division of Highland Business Association. Vendors and workshop presenters can visit www.Enrichment-Day.com for registration information or contact the HBA office at 248-889-1422 or info@thehba.net.

Women In Business

womeninbusinesshighland — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:46:28 +0000

Most women I know are multitaskers or maybe jugglers is a better term. They are rarely satisfied with the way things are; from the home to business to their world; they are always looking for ways to improve whatever they come in contact with. Because there are so many balls in the air for very long periods of time, women also need support to nurture them, their ideas, their dreams and give them a space to suspend all those balls in air for a few hours. Women in Business – Highland is a division of the Highland Business Association. It was designed to be a networking organization centered on the principles of sharing, learning, cooperation, encouragement, camaraderie and respect. I have found that being with these women has allowed me to grow professionally and personally. There is always lots of laughter when this group of women get together because we are able to share with others our successes and what happened when one of the balls we were juggling not only dropped from rotation but usually bounced out the door and down the street. If you are a woman in business, you too may realize a need to interact with other women just to revitalize your dream, assist in strengthening your stamina or just for a night when someone else makes and serves dinner. Whatever your reason I invite you to come check out one of our quarterly meetings, I know you will be glad you did.
