Women entrepreneurs will also have an opportunity to promote their businesses, network with other women

Women TIES is hosting its first event in the Greater Rochester area because of interest by one of their regional members and a local financial institution. Susan Suben, President of Long Term Care Associates, an independent broker specializing in long-term care planning and long term care insurance states why she was interested in helping to organize this event, “I have been a member of Women TIES for three years. The organization inspires women and encourages valuable regional networking. I have made many contacts with women who share their secrets to success that have helped me grow
my business. Being surrounded by successful women keeps my energy level high and reinforces a positive attitude needed to be an entrepreneur. I know women business owners in the Rochester area will benefit by coming to this special event. ”

Suben, who works with Canandaigua National Bank and Trust, approached
them about sponsoring this event to support women entrepreneurs in their
community. “Canandaigua National Bank and Trust along with CNB Insurance Agency were very enthusiastic about co-hosting a luncheon to support women business owners in our community. Both Maggie Meyer, Canandaigua National Bank & Trust, and Donna Hafler, CNB Insurance Agency, have been instrumental in finding the location, securing the speaker and promoting the event to their female clients,” explains Suben.

Tracy Higginbotham, President of Women TIES, was pleased to bring this event to the Greater Rochester area, “Women TIES is expanding to locations around the state where women, like Susan, Maggie and Donna, are interested in hosting events to promote women entrepreneurship in their area.” In the next three months, Women TIES has events planned in other regional cities such as Ithaca, Oswego, Utica and Syracuse. “Our most successful events are in cities were there is a keen interest and desire by women to promote their companies to other women in their own region and state- wide,” states Higginbotham.

marketplace for women entrepreneurs in New York State.” Women TIES produces events which offer quality educational programs, regional networking and extensive promotional opportunities for members on their popular website.
