This past weekend’s edition of NJBIA’s “Minding Your Business” featured a discussion previewing NJBIA’s upcoming Women Business Leaders Forum from some of the participants themselves.

The following speakers talked about the relevance and rewards of NJBIA’s signature event, which will be held from Sept. 22-24.

  • Kerry Barrett, Owner, Kerry Barrett Consulting
  • Tai Cooper, Chief Community Development Officer, New Jersey Economic Development Authority
  • Shy Hopkins, Marketing Program Coordinator, New Jersey Small Business Development Center
  • Jackie Lue Raia, President, Alexena Consulting, LLC

“We’re all sharing not just tips, strategies and tactics for business, but for life and for ourselves as women business leaders, and women business owners,” Barrett said of the event. “I hope that during the course of this event that we’re all able to lift one another up and walk out of this event as new and better versions of ourselves.”
