Join us for our May monthly meeting and hear a dynamic speaker on Entrepreneurship!
Business Meeting - Election of new Board and Committee Reports at 7:30 pm.
Entrepreneurship is often described as freedom, flexibility, and opportunity. But the real lessons—the ones that shape how a business grows—only begin after you take that first step.
Our speaker, Diane Pisani, has been self-employed since 1986, building businesses in the travel and Home Watch industries. Through that experience, she has come to believe there is one industry that connects them all: customer service. When you understand how to serve people well, you can build success in any business you choose.
In this candid and story-driven presentation, Diane shares lessons learned along the way, including the challenges, the turning points, and the mindset shifts that move a business forward.
Designed for both newer and experienced business owners, this session offers perspective, encouragement, and practical takeaways that can be applied immediately.
Our annual meeting sponsor is Amy Turner, Executive Director of The Sally J. Pimentel Deaf & Hard of Hearing Center.
Thank you to Deb Lee Nashed, our other annual sponsor, Debonair Concierge Travel Services, LLC.
Our meeting sponsor is Michelle Golab, with Touchstone Crystal.
