:: Lakewood Business and Professional Women Open House
Learn how you can take part in this year’s exciting program joining together women from the Northwest Cleveland Suburbs for networking, friendship, and professional development.
This dynamic group of women meets monthly at a local restaurant, featuring a woman from the community making a presentation on a business, travel experience, charity, etc., of interest to the group in order to broaden our horizons.
