Le Networking 04/24/08
Posted by Leroy on April 25, 2008
Le Networking is designed for women who wish to meet other women and make business connections.
Last Thursday, April 24, the meeting featured Carolyn Ferguson, owner and chef of Belle Epicurean, a bakery situated inside the Fairmont Hotel downtown Seattle. Carolyn spent a few years in France studying at Cordon Bleu. She explained how she got started in Chicago with her husband, what the next strategy development for the bakery will be and her challenges as wife and mother.
The meeting started at 7:30AM until 9:00AM. As usual: very good connections for everyone, good ambiance (even though very early), and very nice breakfast (from Belle Epicurean of course!).
This kind of meeting will be developped when more speakers are proposed to us.
We witness a real interest for those American and French women to get together for the same reason: their love for France and the curiosity to learn more about other people’s experiences, professionnal as well as private challenges involved in their choices.
Next Le Networking will come back in September as the team is currently focused on the success of its new fundraising gala: Soirée Prestige (June 7 at the Sunset Club – private Club on First Hill. Calendar of events at www.faccpnw.org)
Thank you to Betty Frost, Board member of the FACCPNW and VP Program, for organizing it.
