Courage and leadership is topic of 10th annual Key4Women Forum November 2

Vermont business women and leaders will learn how to build ‘courage skills’ from leadership and customer service expert Cindy Solomon at the 10th annual Key4Women Forum hosted by KeyBank. Held at the Sheraton in South Burlington, the Wednesday, November 2, event begins with breakfast at 7:30 am. Mary Powell, CEO of Green Mountain Power and business entrepreneur, will be honored for her leadership in business and community with the Key Achieve Award, presented at the event.
Solomon will present ‘Creating a Culture of Courage: The New Leadership Challenge’ in which she discusses the four types of courage and when and how to invoke each for success in business, why finding the courage to move forward is the key to success in today’s new business economy, and how to inspire courage personally and professionally.
The Key4Women Forum, which traditionally attracts 250 -300 attendees, is offered as an educational and networking event for women business owners and leaders. It includes a strong philanthropic aspect as well, as all proceeds from the $30 registration fee benefit the Vermont Women’s Fund.
