2011 Women Mean Business

Mercy High School hosted the 2nd Annual Women Mean Business Symposium Sponsored by Children's Hospital of Michigan on Thursday, April 14, 2011. Influential women panelists shared empowering stories of triumph and personal achievement and provided valuable advice about the importance of work, self-esteem, volunteering, and job choices. Each table had a productive break-out session hosted by many successul women and Mercy alumnae.

One thing that was great about this symposium, was that it surrounded you with women who were driven for success and that touched you to do the same. . . . When I was sitting there and listening to their answers and their comments you felt inspired and Itruly believe I left with something there that night. One thing I was also happy about was it was a great place to network. That is another thing that they mentioned that was a key thing to move up and would be helpful if you need an internship or if you were just looking for more information. . . .This was a great experience and actually I had my first experience at networking. ~ Brittany

At the end of the night I received the business cards of the three women who were seated at my table.  An invitation was also extended to me by Cindy Cooper to visit WJR Radio for a tour of their facility.  Cynthia Robinette and Katherine Sharkey extended similar invitations. . . . .At the end of the night, I also spoke to Kathleen Ryan about her experience at Notre Dame which is one school that I have been considering.  I thought it was a successful night and I gained many new contacts and benefitted from the experience. ~ Jaclyn
