Women business owners sought for retreat

HARDYSTON — The Women’s Entrepreneurial Network, “Team WEN,” will hold a Women in Business Retreat on Saturday, April 18, starting at 9 a.m. at the Crystal Springs Resort, with a full day of workshops, roundtables and networking.

The retreat will end at 4 p.m.
“Our main focus this year will be helping women with Business Management and Accounting, Business Formation, Improving Online Presence through social media and search engines, Modern PR, Empowering Yourself to Succeed, and Networking with other Women.” said Lauren Fraser, co-founder of Team WEN. “We are also asking attendants to dress comfortably, since we will be learning some relaxation techniques toward the end of the day that can be used in their day-to-day lives."

Team WEN began its second year with more than 45 members from the Northern New Jersey, and Pennsylvania area joining the group. Team WEN was founded by sisters, Lauren Fraser and Heather Donnelly as a way to assist women in the creation and promotion of their businesses, whether they are online, home-based businesses, or traditional brick and mortar businesses.

“Last year attendees at our retreat walked out ready to take over the world,” Donnelly said. “These women were empowered with confidence, knowledge, and a sisterhood of supportive women ready to help them in the business world. Our WEN members have taken our instruction and literally turned their businesses around. We are looking forward to sharing our team members successes with potential new members, along with providing some amazing expert speakers for the event."

Breakfast and lunch will be served. The event is free for WEN annual members. The cost will be $55 for guests and non-members.
