It's Official, the new Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce Women's Business Council is up and running. The first meeting of the group was a huge success. Over 30 women attended the lunch event and shared information about who they are and what they do. Each woman grabbed a business card on the way out and was asked to contact that person before the next meeting on April 11. We are putting together a newsletter about the group and what they hope to accomplish at future meetings. Since the meeting, two weeks ago, we have added 12 new members to the group. This is the first time a women's business council has been formed in Betlehem so we are making history.
Over the years I have found that women are often not too helpful to each other but are busy trying to reach over that woman only to be the chosen one. Why do we compete against each other and not offer a hand to those who need it? If women spent more time mentoring each other, we would all have a better business atmosphere. Why can't we celebrate the other women's success, and be happy for what she has achieved instead of finding fault in something. Strange creatures we women are!
