There is no right way to be a woman, nor aright way to be an entrepreneur. It’s up to the way youdefine [success] for yourself.
W
omen from across the country — and even some from around the world — gathered in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on a Tuesday morning in mid-May at the Jewish Woman Entrepreneur (JWE) conference to network with other like-minded professionals who might just help them take their dream business to the next level. This year’s theme was “Embrace the Journey.” Panel topics included information on scaling your company, finding your niche, staying true to yourself while growing, and so much more.
THE JWE CONFERENCE TEAM
Chaya Appel-Fishman, founder of the JWE and a lawyer at Miles and Stockbridge P.C., is a woman who has entrepreneurial spirit in her blood. She launched the organization during her first year of law school in 2011, while pregnant with her first son.
Entrepreneur and 2.0 writer Abbey Wolin led the planning team, working with Fishman. They created the comprehensive program over the course of eight months. This year’s speakers featured those in companies doing more than $20 million of sales, those popular in the Instagram sphere, and those in their early stages, too. If you couldn’t make the event, there are still a ton of ways to get involved. Appel- Fishman urges those interested to subscribe on the JWE website (thejewishwomanentrepreneur.com) for e-mail notifications on other upcoming follow-up events and to sign up for one-on-one mentorship opportunities.
