One of the great things about starting SacWomen is that I, a confirmed feminist who believed I was completely knowledgeable about any glimmer of support for women in Sacramento, have come across a cornucopia of opportunities and organizations supporting women about which I had no idea previously.

Today I present, Ladies Who Launch. This national organization, active in more than 40 communities across the country, including Sacramento, is designed to assist women start their own 'dream' businesses through networking opportunities, support and incubator workshops to teach specific skills needed by women entrepreneurs who are ready to 'launch'.

Watch the video - an interview with the founders on the Today Show. There is also a companion book. And I have invited the local leader, Whitney Roberts, to attend our upcoming SacWomen event to enlighten us further. In the meantime, check out all of the local events.
