<p>Lexington, KY (JULY 25, 2012) – Femfessionals is a new group for smart, savvy, accomplished, professional women and business owners; a movement that has made its way to Lexington. Every month, Femfessionals will host networking lunches and events for diverse groups of ambitious women who are looking to make new strategic connections to strengthen their business and social circle. At each “connection lunch” women are strongly encouraged to promote their “brand” and interact in a positive and uplifting environment. They are also treated to seminars on current business trends, along with a mix of inspirational and fun workshops. “Today, women are looking for warmer, more modern and unique ways to build their brands, their professional networks and social circles,” said Ericka Harney, President of FemCity Lexington. “Femfessionals is a new platform to fulfill those needs. Additionally, as more companies are recognizing that women account for about 80% of all household buying decisions, we will partner with progressive companies to create win/win opportunities for our members.” FemCity Lexington, the new local chapter of Femfessionals, will be launched and spearheaded by Ericka Harney. Ericka has over 15 years of professional experience in the nonprofit sector.
