With several initiatives set to launch
in the coming quarter, it is clear that
expansion is the current focus for
WECAN. “Our Womentorship
program starts January 2015,” says
Ingrid Schifer de Dennis, VicePresident. “It is a year-long
educational program for members
that helps them to gain momentum
in several key business areas such as
finance, management, and human
resources. The intent is to help women
grow their business.” As a member-driven
organization based in Canada, the leadership is
focusing on growing in Toronto, Vancouver and
Las Vegas thanks to the interest of women
entrepreneurs in those markets the passion they
have demonstrated.
“Women are ready for this. They are ready to
step up to lead and take ownership,” says
Narissa, “We like to remind women that
surrounding yourself with the right people is so
important to your success. A lot of women think
or feel like they can do it all on their own, but
you simply can’t do it alone. You have to know
your strengths and find others who compliment
you in the right ways.”
WECAN reminds us all that
“entrepreneurship is a state of mind, one
that forces you to take control of your own
success in business.” This organization of
strong women is in control and driving the
future of women entrepreneurship in North
America in the right direction: upwards and
onwards.
