What the Delegates are Saying... |
"One of
the most inspiring lessons I learned at the summit was
that nothing is impossible. I was greatly
encouraged by listening to many women who had reached
their business goals and objectives and it make me
realize I could to the same."
-Vanesa Eirin, Sinectis.com, Argentina |
"The event was
distinguished not only by the interesting programs and
networking opportunities, but also by the high quality
of the presenters and speakers. In addition, the
generous attendance and variety of country participants
was of great importance to the success of the event."
-Aurora Elena
Lopez de Gonzalez, Attorney, National Financiera, Mexico |
"Because
of what I have witnessed and experienced in my career as
a woman in a male dominated field (engineering), I will
continue to fight for women to have the opportunity to
occupy decision making roles. In addition, the
summit showed me how important it is to support women in
atypical fields."
-Graciela Gerola, Manager, CEAMSE, Argentina
|
"My participation in the summit of
Buenos Aires has permitted me to identify various areas
of opportunity which until now have only been seen in a
general context, though they are of great importance for
women in Colombia. In the future I expect to be
able to direct entrepreneurial efforts by women in my
country."
-Angela Maria Camacho, Director,
Firstcom, Colombia |
