RISE offering women’s entrepreneur virtual networking REGIONAL — On Thursday, February 11, RISE Windsor-Essex will present a women’s networking event called RISE and Resilience. The event is a virtual summit created by women entrepreneurs, for women entrepreneurs, in this area. The event is free to join and will feature 15 local women who will discuss topics with titles like Work-Life Balance, the Dreaded “P” Word (Pivot), Diversity and Inclusion, and Making Your Money Work. The morning will kick off with a yoga and mindfulness session by Dianne Bondy. Erie Shores Health Foundation Executive Director, Christine Colautti, is one of 13 keynote speakers for the event. The event is sponsored by Pelee Island Winery, the U.S. Consulate General, FedDev Ontario, Windsor Eats, WEtech Alliance and BMO Financial Group. “A group of Windsor-Essex women entrepreneurs got together in February 2020 with a vision in mind for this summit,” said organizer Nicole Anderson, Program Director for Women Entrepreneurship Strategy, Windsor Essex Economic Development Corporation. “With COVID-19, we’ve since
had to reimagine what this day would look like, but we’ve kept the same intentions in mind: empowering, supporting, and uplifting women in our region would be the theme and feel for this event.” “The pandemic has made RISE and Resilience even more timely,” she added. “We need to come together now more than ever to help one another overcome barriers on our own paths to success.” The event can be enjoyed with an ‘Experience Box’ that can be purchased, with lim-
ited quantities available. The box includes products from over 20 women-owned businesses, including a book by Heather Chauvin, a coaching session by Danielle Campo, a bottle of wine and discount codes from 30 women-owned businesses.
