Successful businesswomen noted in yearly awards night

The 6th annual Powerful Women of the Bay Awards Luncheon is taking place this March in Oakland. Presented by the CDA Consulting Group, a portion of the proceeds will go to the Training Institute for Leadership Enrichment.

The event will start off with a networking reception, followed by lunch and the awards presentations. The keynote speaker is set to be Freada Kapor Klein of the Kapor Canter for Social Impact. This year, there are eight honorees. They include Frances H. Cohen, who will receive the Dr. C. Diane Howell Entrepreneur Award.

Local businesses that wish to contribute but are unable to attend can sponsor the event for amounts ranging from $1,500 up to $7,500. A table for 10 is included in the sponsorship.

Businesswomen from around the Bay area, including Hayward, will no doubt not want to miss out on this networking opportunity. Many of them will probably be placing a new business card printing order well in advance to ensure that they have enough to exchange with their peers.

The Powerful Women of the Bay Awards Luncheon is being held at the Wedgewood at the Metropolitan Golf Course on March 13 from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm. To learn more about the event, get to know the award winners, and find out about past winners, visit the official website.
