Just like these July temperatures, things here at TWG are heating up! We’ve spent the spring and summer working closely with our clients to provide strategies, content, and experiences that bring the community together and invite individuals to take action and become engaged. Whether it’s for non-profit organizations or for profit companies, we are passionate about the work our clients do and deliver results that show a commitment to each brand’s needs. 
On June 18, we kicked the summer off with The Trust for Public Land as they joined the City of Atlanta in the dedication of the Historic Fourth Ward Park, an area that stretches from City Hall East to Freedom Parkway and is a part of the Atlanta Beltline Project. In 2004, The Trust for Public Land began securing key parcels of land that were necessary to create a network of green spaces along the Beltline. Seven years later, the TPL team found great joy in seeing this significant part of the project come to fruition.
On June 23, Womenetics hosted its second annual Entrepreneurs symposium, “Turning Vision into Value.” At this breakfast event, national thought leaders, southeast community resource providers and expert local panelists gave attendees perspective on revenue thresholds and explored ways women can gain access to necessary funding and capital to build businesses that compete at the highest levels. The morning began with a keynote speech from Barbara Kasoff, president, CEO and Co-Founder of Women Impacting Public Policy, Inc. In her address, this two-term NWBC member and successful serial entrepreneur discussed WIPP and the National Women’s Business Council’s current initiatives, and encouraged attendees to equip themselves with the resources they need to reach business success. In addition to discussing avenues that women can take to find money to finance their businesses, we heard from local entrepreneurs who shared how they create goals, widen their circle of influence, manage finances and maximize their experience to generate business success. This was an eye-opening event, one that enabled the day’s audience to leave with the knowledge necessary to start, run and grow a successful enterprise.
In partnership with Porsche Cars North America, Womenetics co-hosted the inaugural High Performance Women Dinner, an evening of cocktails, elegant dinner and inspiring conversation, on June 30. Dr. Edit Schlaffer, founder of Women without Borders, flew in from Aus
tria as the evening’s special guest. Through her remarks, Dr. Schlaffer painted a picture of life for women in the Middle East and in developing countries. She inspired attendees to take action to help advance the political and economic empowerment of those living in societies in crisis or transition.Pictured to the right are Elisabeth Marchant with Womenetics, Jane Mosbaucher of the U.S. State Department, Edit Schlaffer of Women without Borders, and our own Ellen Adair Wyche.
At this point you’re probably wondering, “What’s next?” We’re glad you asked.
This fall Womenetics will host two Global Women’s Initiatives: The Ripple Effect, the first taking place on September 30 in Atlanta and the second on November 10 in Chicago. From critical areas including economic empowerment, human rights, education & literacy, and health, these programs will convene global thought leaders who will motivate and engage attendees with discussions to inspire increasing women’s impact in the world.
In Atlanta, The Global Women’s Initiative will connect attendees to key policy and decision makers working to advance women globally. Internationally recognized speakers such as former U.S. Ambassador Swanee Hunt and world renowned human-rights activist, Somaly Mam, will deliver powerful messages encompassing the global status of women, the United States’ efforts to impact the well-being of women worldwide, and the public and private initiatives underway that are aimed at helping women control their own destinies.
In Chicago, Womenetics will provide an in-depth look at how full inclusion of women can lead to business success and what global players are doing to focus on women’s leadership. Attendees will be given the opportunity to connect to key policy and decision makers working to advance women and ensure the U.S. stays economically competitive. Internationally recognized speakers from corporate, not-for-profit, academic and public policy arenas will deliver powerful messages surrounding the United States’ domestic and international efforts to impact women’s well-being and the public and private initiatives underway to help women control their destinies.
As our calendar continues to fill up, and the temperatures begin to cool down, we hope that you’ll join us for one of these exciting, upcoming events!
