Sally Rutledge-Ott, the regional director of the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce, wants women who own businesses and those who want to start businesses to get it together. She’s arranged the Central Illinois Women’s Economic Summit.

The summit is at Celebrations 150 north of Utica on Friday, June 10. She’s asking people to register by June 7. Rutledge-Ott says women often have different priorities than men and they need to build their business plans around those priorities.

Women are a majority of the workforce and almost a third of all business owners. The regional director of the U.S. Women’s Chamber of Commerce thinks women ought to be more assertive in business.

Sally Rutledge-Ott has put together a summit to be held in LaSalle County next month to talk about.

She’s asking people to register by June 7 for the event Friday, June 10 at Celebrations 150 north of Utica.
