Thank You Alexandra, Ana, Kelly, and Nashely
I want to thank Alexandra Hoang, Kelly Trinh, Ana Rivas, and Nashely Ruiz for their constant support with the writing of Realizing a Vision, Your Tool Kit for Success.
Their review and totally honest feedback has been a greatly appreciated. They also served as members of the Girls’ C.E.O. Connection Young Ambassadors. From managing the content of our social media platforms to conducting video interviews of accomplished female entrepreneurs these four young women have been indispensable. Alexandra, Ana,Kelly, and Nashely were the ones being interviewed. Thank you again ladies and I hope you will be part of our final editing process.
Getting Together to Share about the Realizing a Vision Conferences, Joining the Young Ambassadors, along with Teen and Women Entrepreneurs as Role Models.
We met in Ontario CA to talk about how the girls got involved with the Girls’ C.E.O. Connection Young Ambassadors, entrepreneurs in their high schools, and the influence of women in business. The video pretty much says it all in a nutshell. One disclosure: the discussion was much like you see on The View television show-unscripted and unrehearsed.
Unfortunately not all the members could join us. Nashely was on her way back to college and Ana was unavailable.
