Our events typically incorporate educational components covering a wide range of topics including business finances, systems, social media, insurance tips, and much more. Through active engagement, WBOA promotes women-owned businesses by sharing success stories, enhancing social media presence, and creating a supportive community.
At this luncheon, Lisa Totz will share her professional journey, which spans significant roles with major U.S. employers such as Boeing in Seattle, Raytheon in Tucson, and ITT in West Springfield. Her impressive career includes leadership in organizations like YESnet (Young Engineers and Scientists Network) and Raytheon Women on the Move, along with her entrepreneurial ventures as the owner of LT Consulting. Lisa’s contributions to the community are further highlighted by her roles as President of the Jimmy Fund Council of Western Massachusetts, BNI President, and Race Director for various triathlons.
Lisa’s journey of navigating business, career, and personal goals will provide valuable insights and inspiration to all attendees.
