Some photos below from last week’s Lakewood-area Women In Business inaugural meeting. It’s great to see a group like this form, and not surprising at all that the first get-together was so well attended. As someone who’s covered this area for some time, it’s never ceased to amaze me how many people in general, and women specifically, embody the entrepreneurial spirit here in Lakewood.
