Womenetics Hosts Symposium for Female Entrepreneurs, June 20, 2012

ATLANTA, May 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aspiring entrepreneurs and existing business owners will gain invaluable tools and strategic insights at the third Womenetics entrepreneurial symposium, The Millennial Money Makers: Fabulous and Flourishing on Wednesday, June 20 at 7:30 a.m. at The Retreat at Perimeter. The program showcases some of today's innovative young business leaders who have harnessed the power of technology, collaboration, creativity, and knowledge of social impact to create markets, products, and services for the current times while they impact bottom lines. Eight forward-thinking for-profit and non-profit business owners will present firsthand experience and keys to success that can be applied to any existing or startup organization.

Keynote Speaker, Julie Smolyansky, CEO of Lifeway Foods, at 37 is the youngest female CEO of a publicly held firm. Since assuming the role of CEO in 2002, she has grown the company's revenues from $12 million to $80 million.  Mother of two young girls, she exemplifies young entrepreneurs who have successfully learned how to balance a fast-paced business career while raising children and giving back philanthropically.

Guests will hear from two diverse panels: Emerging Entrepreneurs, and How to Start, Sustain and Succeed. Leading-edge industries including technology, consulting, ice cream, eco-friendly products, clothing and accessories, concierge services, social impact, and others will be represented. The annual Resource Fair will offer relevant information essential to women-owned businesses and youth organizations. Essential support systems will be readily available to assist in entrepreneurial success. AMEX Open, in their 2011 study, reported that women-owned firms increased by 50% between 1997 and 2011, and that Georgia is the fastest growing state for women-owned businesses.
