We hope you had a great time networking and being inspired at our recent Power Networking Events.
Here are some notable event highlights:
October 26 – New York
‘Breaking the Glass Ceiling: Why Philanthropy Matters’
At networking events, it’s important to break the ice right away—so that’s exactly what we did.
National Director of Chapters, Louise Newsome took the stage to host some fun, interactive speed networking sessions, where attendees made quick and valuable professional connections. You can learn a lot about another person in 30 seconds!
Louise introduced the fabulous host of the evening, NAPW President Star Jones. Star brought everyone up to speed on what’s new and exciting at NAPW, and shared intimate details about
her personal and professional networking journey.
Star introduced, “New York’s First Lady of Philanthropy,” Jean Shafiroff to the stage for “The Power of One” panel. Special thanks to Jean for enlightening, inspiring and educating us on How to Make a Life by What You Give. You can purchase a copy of Jean’s book on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
Thank you to GEICO for sponsoring our Power Networking Event and to all who attended and participated.
Join us in LA for our final Power Networking Event of the year on November 15, 2016. Be inspired as Star interviews Cookie Johnson, entrepreneur, philanthropist, author, advocate for women and wife of NBA legend, Earvin “Magic” Johnson. See you there!

With nearly 40 NAPW members attending, along with 200+ other professional women, this year’s Inc. Women’s Summit was a networking success. Business women from across the county from a wide variety of industries secured powerful new connections, learned from the influential commentary of guest speakers and promoted their own businesses and careers. The event kicked off with keynote speaker, Barbara Corcoran of ABC’s Shark Tank who took the stage to share her entrepreneurial story and tips for aspiring business women.
“Don’t let fear take over…be positive and love your life. Failing is okay if you learn from it…but if you don’t learn, shame on you!” -Venus William (pictured above)
Additional event highlights included informative tech and financial panels, discussions about business policy and of course, an unforgettable speech from world tennis champion, Venus Williams.
Special thanks to Inc. and to all NAPW members who attended. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!
