Meet the Speakers for Our Second Annual Women in Business Event, Carving Your Niche

Unfortunately Carving Your Niche has been cancelled.  We look forward to meeting you at a future PRSA Pittsburgh event.

Thank you for your understanding!

 

PRSA Pittsburgh’s first annual women in business event, A Toast to Us, was a sold-out success.  With dozens of businesswomen discussing entrepreneurship, leadership and the business landscape, the dialogue was dynamic and the enthusiasm was palpable.  We hosted an incredible slate of speakers including Cooper Munroe, founder and CEO of The Motherhood, Laura Zorch and Sarah Sudar, co-founders of EatPGH, Kyshira Moffett, founder of the KSM Group and Laura Maxwell of Carnegie Mellon’s Women Leadership and Negotiation Academy.

Leveraging the knowledge and motivation gleaned from last year, we’re looking forward to hosting our 2017 event, Carving Your Niche, on Thursday, July 27 presented by WordWrite Communications.  Interested in attending?  RSVP here.  And then read on to hear more about this year’s top-tier speakers:
