The “Women Who Mean Business” honorees for 2020 have risen to the top of their respective fields, from finance to education, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing and architecture.
On Nov. 17, New Haven BIZ honored the achievements of six area women at a special online event, which was held virtually this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The second-annual event included networking and a live panel discussion, which was moderated by KeyBank.
The winners shared what they have learned about how to become successful. Here are a few examples:
Believe in yourself and your product. Lead by example. Provide mentorship. Never discount the things that make you really special, that might make you seem strange or weird, those are the things that can make you excel in the career path you set out for yourself.
The full event is now available for viewing on our website by clicking HERE.
