WEDO® Tour on the Web

Businesswomen from eight states came together— through the power of the Internet—in mid-October to hear how five outstanding women entrepreneurs and executives built and are maintaining sustainable businesses.

It's not too late to learn from these leaders. The eighth annual national Women’s Economic Development Outreach (WEDO) Tour is available for online viewing at WE-DO.net.

This year's panel included:

  • Cindy Bates, Vice President, Microsoft North America
  • Genevieve Bos, Founding Publisher/Owner, Pink magazine
  • Marilyn D. Landis, President, Basic Business Concepts, Inc
  • Mercedes LaPorta, President, Mercedes Electric
  • Susan Wilson Solovic, CEO, SBTV.com
The group discussed strategies such as defining and building a business model that produces consistent results, employing strategic marketing and tactics to measure returns on your investment, and obtaining, using and maximizing working capital to support the growth of your business.
