From what I hear from the Women Grow Business community when I'm out and about, we just love
CNN's Leading Women column, especially their
Twitter initiatives. If you've previously missed out on participating in some of their recent columns, this could be your chance.
The most recent project they're working on is for
International Women's
Day, coming up on March 8th. On that day, we celebrate the achievements of women worldwide, and reflect on how to continue to make progress in the...

Earlier this evening, I attended the sold out session hosted by
Pappas Group, “
From React to Ignite: Building a Positive Hospitality Brand Online", held in a beautiful venue I didn't know about,
Hamilton Live, part of the Hamilton in DC.
(Been to the Hamilton about a dozen times in the last couple of years - had no idea they had this classy night spot downstairs.)
Because of the people who were on the panel, I was really interested in going - not just because I know some of them,...

Ah,
Social Media Week. Each year I both anticipate and dread it, as I do all DC conferences.
I love the idea of being able to do a lot of networking, meet brilliant start-up geniuses, and learn all types of new things.
But unlike the conferences that involve major travel, the major local tech and business gatherings often seem to be ill-timed. Thank goodness for Metro and
Uber or I'd just stay at work/home half the time!
But I digress. This year, Social Media week had some exciting...

During our
Twitter chat this week about the
State of Women-Owned Businesses in the US, due to our time limitations, we only able to explore the barest tip of the topic.

One thing that startled me was how much the state of the economy was a concern, though a distant second to acquiring new customers, it also came...

As an example, when asked how the struggles of...
