I’m glad you are joining us today for our annual Women’s Leadership Conference. Six years ago, Brady Ware started this event to empower women within our community.

Women own nearly 40% of all privately-held firms, becoming a force that is driving our growing economy.

Women are seeking higher education, taking more risks, and succeeding in business. We are permeating the boardroom and executive roles within companies.

Brady Ware recognizes women’s value in the community and workplace, which is why we offer an internal Women’s Initiative designed to grow and nurture our female colleagues.

We provide unique resources for our women to pursue top management positions and unleash their potential.

velopment, like today’s conference. We partner with the Women’s Small Business Accelerator (WSBA) and National Association for Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Columbus for this event because we all share the same goal – to empower females in the workplace. NAWBO expresses this goal by focusing on women supporting women business owners. The WSBA demonstrates this by offering resources for women to succeed in their own businesses. Together, we can collaborate to achieve greater success in our personal and professional lives.

As you travel through the path of success, I encourage you to support organizations like NAWBO and the WSBA, so we can continue to help other women thrive. When we support each other, exceptional things happen!

Best wishes for continued success,

Brady Ware also acknowledges that women need external resources for growth and de-

NAWBO COLUMBUS VISIONARY AWARD

DENISE DOCZY-DELONG SINGLETON CONSTRUCTION, LLC Denise Doczy-Delong’s entrepreneurial journey began in 2006. Her mother, Nancy Doczy, had been diagnosed with breast cancer, and needed her help with the company she co-founded in 1995 with Chris Singleton. Denise left behind a successful career in supply chain management to become the first employee as Managing Director of Singleton Construction.

Founded in 1995, Singleton Construction has grown into a leading Commercial Construction General Contractor focused on transforming retail spaces. Since the days when Walmart was the sole customer, Denise and her team have significantly expanded Singleton's customer base and geographic footprint. Today the company is headquartered in Canal Winchester, Ohio and operates in 39 states. Singleton is excited about the opportunities in the construction industry to help retailers physically transform their brands.

Denise demonstrates tremendous care and vision for her team and community. Her unique approach to developing talent speaks to her visionary approach. She is constantly working to learn and improve as a leader, fostering a culture of learning across the company. There are countless examples in

the business of personal growth and career development that were built on Denise’s vision for what her people can become, and her encouragement and support in making that vision a reality. The same is true for her community, as she has served as a mentor for local school children providing a unique perspective on breaking stereotypes as a successful woman in a male-dominated industry helping young girls see a different vision for their future. Singleton consistently lives their vision of creating a brighter world in their community through their giving efforts to local organizations and schools.

Colleagues describe her as humble, caring and generous.

Denise is an active member of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Columbus, Retail Contractors Association, Builders Exchange of Central Ohio, and the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, where she serves on the Small Business Council.

This past year Denise was selected to participate in a year-long mentorship program with the Maria Sharapova Women's Entrepreneur Program and the National Association of Women Business Owners.

THREE SIGNATURE PROGRAMS. ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.

1.

We know what it takes to succeed, so we have created programming that meets the individual needs of women who are entrepreneurs. APPLY NOW FOR FALL PROGRAMS!

THE INSPIRED ENTREPRENEUR PROGRAM: A 20-week intensive

accelerator for women in the early stages of their business. This small cohort meets every other Saturday for four hours, and each entrepreneur builds a robust business plan, conducts market research, creates their sales pipeline and pricing structure, develops their elevator pitch, and graduates upon presentation of their three-minute sales pitch to a panel of judges. Our next cohort starts in October.

2.

POWER CIRCLES: A facilitated peer network group for women who have been in business at least one year. This group of entrepreneurs meet monthly to help each other solve business problems quickly and efficiently, increase each other’s entrepreneurial savvy, and decrease the sense of isolation that many early to mid-stage business owners have had. The next Circles start in September!

3.

MENTOR MATCH: This is for women entrepreneurs who have been in business at

least 3 years and are looking to achieve specific business goals through a mentor. WSBA Board Members interview each mentee to assess their goals and personality, and then hand-match them with a successful business leader in our community who has achieved similar goals. Matches are for six to twelve months and begin based on the schedule of the mentee and mentor. Become a mentee or a mentor today!
