Join us in celebrating Women's History Month at the Barber National Institute with an insightful panel discussion of successful female leaders.  This is a rare opportunity to listen to some of Erie's powerhouses that include Marcia Haller, Partner at MacDonald, Illig, Jones & Britton Law Firm, Gay Marie Catania, former President of the Women's Roundtable and Dr. Maureen Barber-Carey, Executive Vice President of the Barber National Institute, among other extraordinary women.  Come with your questions, or post them on yep!'s Facebook page.

The talk will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m on March 14th at the Barber National Institute.  If you have any questions please feel free to email Julia Nene.

The Executive Coffee Talk with Charlie Ingram has been postponed.  This event is being rescheduled for a later date so please stay tuned for updates.  

Co-hosted by Fourth River Development and the Economic Development Corporation our February Social Hour will be held on Wednesday, February 22nd.

Attendees will be treated to complimentary beer, wine and appetizers provided by Fourth River Development and Karen Clark, Director of Public Finance at the Economic Development Corporation will be giving a presentation on state and local financing programs including the EDC's own Enterprise Development Fund which helps finance commercial properties for small business-development in and around town.

There will be a staged condo available to tour and the remaining available units will also be open to walk through.
