NKY Women’s Initiative

January 28, 2010

Today I joined 399 other local women at the SOLD OUT Kickoff event for the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce Women’s Initiative.  What an experience!  LUCRUM’s own Suzanne Lorch is the Chair of the Women’s Initiative.  In the last year, she and 50 other women who live/work/conduct business in NKY decided that the focus of the group should be “to help women Connect…Grow…Achieve”.

The programming over the coming months will include a monthly Happy Hour, mentoring programs and roundtable discussions.  Additionally, they are establishing an on-line directory for their members which will include other women’s groups and organizations with similar missions.

The Keynote Speaker today was Maribeth Rahe, CEO & President of Fort Washington Investment Advisiors, Inc.  She provided the group with her wisdom on how to succeed in business.  She provided the group with these 13 pearls of wisdom:

The Rule of 13

  1. Be strong, not weak.
  2. Always be willing to do what is right for your company, your clients, your colleagues, and your community.
  3. Learn from experience – both yours and that of others.
  4. Be open minded, flexible, and change-oriented.
  5. Never settle for the status quo or anything expedient.
  6. Learn to trust your instincts.
  7. Earn your stripes, daily.
  8. Measure your performance.
  9. Support your team personally and professionally.
  10. Be encouraging, not negative.
  11. Celebrate success.
  12. Say “Thank you”.
  13. Think before your speak or act.

Thanks to Suzanne and Maribeth and all of the other wonderful contributors to the event.  Hope to see you at the next one!

    Jodie, thanks so much for the nice article. It was a great event, and certainly generated a lot of interest, among women in the business community, and the firms they work for.

    I appreciate all the support we received from LUCRUM, as a company, and from everyone individually!

Got something to say?
