Background of Women of Excellence

In 1993, Network 2000 brought Patricia Aburdene, author of Megatrends for Women, to Baltimore for the first Women of Excellence program and the event has grown to a sold out capacity. The 16th annual Women of Excellence luncheon was held on November 11, 2009 at Martin's West.

The Women of Excellence event is part of Network 2000’s mission to promote women in leader ship positions and on corporate boards through education, awareness and mentoring.
