Date set for '19 Business Expo

We will host the second-annual NCBWL Business Networking Expo on April 17, 2019 at the Cathedral Fleming Center again. The first year was a great success and we hope to make this year even more eventful. Members can register as a vendor for $50. Non-member women-owned/operated business vendors are welcome as well for $100. We will offer non-profit organizations a free vendor ticket as well. 

Members who do not want to be vendors to showcase your business, please make plans to attend and learn about all women-owned businesses in Nashville. There will be wine and appetizers as well as give-aways.

Member Spotlight: Teri Gordon

in-coming NCBWL president

Teri Hasenour Gordon will take over as president of the Nashville Catholic Business Women’s League in April after serving as vice president for two years. She is practicing attorney, is married and the mother of two grown sons and is working on her MBA but finds time to devote energy and creativity to the NCBWL.

 

“I saw an announcement in the St.  Philip church bulletin,” Gordon said of how she found out about NCBWL. “I wanted to join an organization of like-minded women and couldn’t imagine a more compatible group than Catholic business women. I jumped right in and never looked back.”

 

Teri grew up in Louisville, Kentucky as the youngest child in a restaurant family, which served people in Louisville for more than 50 years. She is much younger than her siblings – she has five nieces ranging from age 61 to 43. Her brother died in 2017 at the age of 80 and her sister still lives in Louisville. She broke out of the family restaurant business when she worked for the local police department one summer in high school.
