Who We Are

History

When we look back through history in terms of these defining moments: the revolutions, the political conquests, the greatest advancements in art, industry, and medicine, and raise the question what is it that will define this era? What are we doing to define it, ourselves?

History will be our witness, but the future is ours to define, and we believe the people who are defining this era are women: women who are re-defining boundaries, who bring empathy into the workplace and put heart and home at the forefront of entrepreneurial design, women who are proud and ready to speak for themselves and do things their own way. There are women who have said “me too,” and there are women who have said “enough.” There are women who have ideas about what tomorrow can bring, and women who are intent on making those dreams a reality.

Now more than ever, women need a platform to be heard and to be recognized.

I just wanted to reach out to Thank you for all of your advice from the Money Power and Media event last May. I have been really proactive with all of your steps and I am starting to see a big difference. Getting involved with the LWE has really helped to get me out from behind the scenes, improve my self-confidence and get myself and company out in the media. I am now on the Board of Directors for the PWC NJ, was recently asked to be on my first panel (see below) and today Vericon was listed in the NJBIZ Top 250 Privately Held Companies in NJ. We are #142 !!! And of course the biggest accomplishment of the year, being a Top 150 2016 finalist for LWE. 2016 has been a huge year for me !
