PALMS WEST COMMUNITY FOUNDATION’S
2012 WOMEN IN BUSINESS SERIES
PRESENTS “LUNCH WITH KATHERINE BELLISSIMO”
SPONSORED BY IBERIABANK
The Palms West Community Foundation is pleased to announce the kick-off the 2012 Women in Business series, sponsored by IBERIRIABANK, on Wednesday, January 18, starting at 12:00 noon. The first luncheon of the 2012 Women in Business series, will feature Katherine Bellissimo as the speaker, and will be sponsored, by White Horse Tavern and FTI Consulting Winter Equestrian Festival. Katherine Bellissimo, and her husband Mark, are two of the original Principles of the Wellington Equestrian Partners—the group that, since 2005, have been developing and growing the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington into the world-famous event and equestrian center that it has become.
The luncheon will be on Wednesday, January 18, in the Wellington Club at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center located at 3401 Equestrian Club Road in Wellington (Spectator Entrance) beginning at 12:00 noon. The Wellington Club is a private room that is overlooking the main arena of the Equestrian Center , and as an added treat, the riders and their horses will be performing that day! As another added surprise, there is even a chance that one of the female Olympic riders, depending on her training schedule, might be able to join us for lunch and to share her career experiences!
Katherine Bellissimo will share with the crowd her experiences in the interesting and intriguing equestrian world, and how she has been able to balance her career demands with her personal life and family. She and Mark have been true working partners, as they have grown Wellington ’s equestrian community through the expansion of the scope of the Winter Equestrian Festival. But, in the meantime, Katherine has also focused on developing outreach programs to benefit the surrounding community…all the while making time for her family which includes four children!
This luncheon, catered by White Horse Tavern, is not one to miss, and is sure to be a sold-out event! The cost for the luncheon is $25.00 for Palms West Chamber members and $35.00 for non-chamber members. Reservations for this event are requested by noon on Monday, January16th, and it is a pre-paid event.
