Foster Enterprise is this year's Silent Auction Beneficiary. Take a look at our Silent Auction Catalog. We have a sailing package, a grammy package and dancing with the stars package just to start with!
If you look at the trail blazed by the honorees selected you will see what power really means. It's not the oppression of others, or being well liked. True power comes from within. In the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. "Everyone has the power for greatness, not fame, but for greatness is determined by service. Our honorees are true servant leaders in our local community. They have blazed the trail so that others could follow and believe as Eleanor Roosevelt believed that "the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." We look forward to your joining us in recognizing these amazing women and organizations.

In Memory of Our Beloved Colleague...
The vision for the Summit was inspired by my friendship with Marian York, Founder of the WORDpower™ Institute, who was a confident woman who led by example.
In her words: "Many women are still finding their voice and seeking the words that are right for them to fully express their talents, intelligence and power. Your words are your ambassadors. They open or shut doors as they tell others how to treat you and what to believe about your business."
In her riveting and empowering programs she taught women how to be come master communicators: to speak proactively and to listen empathetically in ways that command respect and build trust. She often said, "It's not how much you say: it's how you say it."
The Summit was therefore created in Marian's honor and to keep her life's work alive. I invite you to join us at this one of a kind event that is sure to inspire the confident woman in you!
Warmly,
Bettina Carey, Founder & Chief Empowerment Officer, Women in Small Biz
The Story Behind the Summit...
The LIVE! 3rd Annual Women's Empowerment and Prosperity Summit™: Inspiring Confident Women Leading From the Heart!™, a once small conference-styled event, has grown from a spirited idea into something that will attract hundreds of women in business and working professionals who are guaranteed a life-changing experience.
Recognized for its unparalleled capacity to empower and inspire women to live and love life abundantly, the event will unite more than twenty locally- and nationally-acclaimed leaders and visionaries with more than 200 women expected to be attending the summit.
The women will unite in Carey's innovative and cutting edge, EMPowerment™ Circles (Empowering, Mentoring and Promoting You in 2010!), critical conversation circles to listen to enriching and enlivening stories of women who have broken through the glass ceiling to discover their true potential, as well to hear stories of hope, courage, transformation and success, words of encouragement and life lessons, all shared from the heart.
The Summit is expected to attract women from all walks of life, cultures, backgrounds and viewpoints. Call: 206-349-4297 for more details
Facts That Every Woman Should Know:
Study shows few women have real power, however women realize their power lies in using their influence to impact their communities while at the same time they balance their busy lives.' (Study: Power-Hungry or Powerless? by Deloitee & Touche; Reported by; Colleen McGinness, Daily Journal of Commerce, June 12, 2003)
"In 2008 the Federal Glass Ceiling Commission showed that only seven to nine percent of upper management are present in Fortune 1000 firms were women." (Lisa Fritcher, Lifescript)
So while "women account for 46.5% of America's workforce we make up only less than 9% of its top management while at the same time we earn now an average of 72% of our male counterparts." (The Economist, Women in Business, July 24, 2005)
