Art!

Last night, we also went to Foggy Bottom’s M Street Renaissance Hotel for Put a CORC in It.

Power Women!
|
| |
 |
|
Bisnow’s Women in Business Breakfast & Schmooze was a huge success yesterday with 450 business women (and a few brave men) packing Georgetown’s Sequoia. Inspirational speakers, including Rand Construction founder Linda Rabbitt and Marriott EVP Kathleen Matthews (here with Meditor Optimus’ Naomi Szekeres) talked about motivating one another to succeed in “a man’s world” by celebrating each other.
|
| |
 |
|
The White House Project’s Marie Wilson, who started Take Our Daughters to Work Day. We learned about the power of applying diverse perspectives to solutions; research shows it outperforms solutions crafted by people who think (and look) alike.
|
| |
 |
|
Cherry, Bekaert & Holland's Susan Moser, Grafik’s Teddi Segal, PR guru Maurisa Potts and AMG’s Karen Alston. The message we heard: you’ve been given gifts; don’t waste them.
|
| |
 |
|
Champion Recruiting Associates’ Lisa Slater, Jane Seu, Caitlin Banks and Kara Ridgway. Caitlin exemplifies the message: she founded her company at age 27.
