TAKE  THE  LEAD
Inforum and Crain's Detroit Business

Inforum and Crain's Detroit Business invites you to find inspiration and insights to help you reach the next level in your career through an intimate conversation with a top woman executive at Inner Circle. Inner Circle honors Michigan’s top woman executives and gives women with leadership potential the rare opportunity to meet and have meaningful, small group discussions with these powerful business leaders.

The event will honor the 2010 Crain's Women to Watch. Honorees were announced in the September 6th issue of Crain's Detroit Business.

Participants gain first-hand insights and make the connections needed to move into the highest levels of leadership. Conversation will be lively and fun, guided through the use of a game-style canister filled with thought-provoking questions.

Inner Circle honorees are:

• Entrepreneurs, highest-ranking women or partners in their organizations
• Small business owners
• Visible governmental officials
• High-powered professional women i.e., engineers, media representatives, sales executives, healthcare, physicians, etc.
• Leaders of non-profit organizations
• Changers and shapers of women’s causes and the community
