“LYDIA” Ladies Your Destiny Is Awaiting!

By Carla Yvette

“LYDIA” Ladies Your Destiny Is Awaiting” 2014 Annual Entreprenuer Business Women’s Luncheon was held March 1 at UTMC the hotel.

“LYDIA,” the vision and passion of conference host Janet Harrington, owner of InVision Salon and Spa, was born in the 1990’s when Harrington began opening her home to a small group of women who met every first Monday.

This led to the now inspiring annual luncheon.

Harrington recently moved back to her home town of Toledo, OH from Atlanta, GA where she had resided since 1988. She has been an entreprenuer for over 35 years and  has owned and operated four successful studios in the fashion and beauty industry and wanted to bring the conference to Toledo to help inspire women to find their niche and pursue their destiny.

The conference is geared toward motivating and inspiring women to open their businesses or take their current businesses to the next level.

Speakers and facilitators were: Lisa Lawrence, Michelle Klinger, Rhonda Sewell, Brenda Mc Fall, Linda Alvarado, Gretchen DeBacker, Carla Leonard, Alice Quinn and Olivia Holden.
