I've learned many difficult lessons over the past 14 years as I have simultaneously built my business and my family. The journey has been difficult but has enabled me to accomplish ambitious goals both personally and professionally that I never thought possible. I look forward to sharing my lessons with other women executives who overcome similar challenges on a daily basis, and I look forward to learning from them as well."

The forum will include a distinguished panel of experts who will discuss current work-life challenges and share strategies for focusing on measurable results, and creating environments that offer support to women’s choices and professional development. "The Washington Working Women’s Forum is a much needed injection of knowledge and networking in an area that receives a lot of talk, but not a lot of action. That area is work life balance" said panelist Kathy Korman Frey, founder of the Hot Mommas Project and George Washington University School of Business adjunct professor of management. “Forum attendees will have the wonderful opportunity to hear from industry leaders and entrepreneurs who are at the leading edge of this movement to explore the challenges and rewards, and examine the role of government in facilitating this process” said Alicia Anderson, CEO of Attaché Services LLC.
