"When you look at the women that are involved in the committee, it's just such a phenomenal group of women that the connections you can make by attending those meetings is hard to compare to anything else. Reconnecting with women I haven't seen in a few years, several deal opportunities came out of that, and you don't know how much can occur when you just get together and start talking."
