"The Wider our Webs of Connectedness, the Higher we Bounce!"

August 20, 2007 – Princeton, NJ – The sands of the Jersey shore shifted west recently as the United Ways of New Jersey Women's Leadership Council presented a "beach party" themed event on Wednesday, July 18 at the Nassau Club in Princeton. The beach theme for this inventive program was a sunny complement to the presentation by the guest speaker, Dr. Teena Cahill.

Dr. Cahill held a crowd of over 140 women captive with her dynamic and inspiring views on life, overcoming adversity and remaining resilient. The event also included personalized book signings of Dr. Cahill's recent publication "The Cahill Factor - Turning Adversity into Advantage". The evening was structured so that "beach goers" were able to network with each other as professionals in all areas of business and take away tools to help them thrive in their personal lives as well.

United Way of Greater Mercer County hosted this inaugural event to stimulate interest in and increase support for the important role women play in today's economic arena.

The next event held by Women's Leadership Council is set for November 15, 2007 and will feature Betsy Bernard, Retired President of at&t, on the "Seven Golden Rules of Leadership" The event will take place at the Bridgewater Manor, Bridgewater, NJ from 5:30 – 8:30 pm.  For more information, contact Sarah Brelvi, sbrelvi@unitedwayofwc.org.
