Last year, San Antonio, TX was listed as one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas for women-owned firms.* On May 22, 2014 ACCION Women’s Business Center will celebrate three of San Antonio’s leading women entrepreneurs at the Second Annual 20 x 20 Women Inspiring Women event.
What is 20 x 20 Women Inspiring Women?
A single image can convey complex emotions, revolutionary ideas, and notable stories. At this event, through a series of 20 images, three women entrepreneurs share their stories of identifying and maximizing their strengths to excel in business. Attendees will not only get to hear from featured speakers but will also have a chance to create their own story.
The 2014 20 x 20 Women Inspiring Women featured speakers are:
Janie M. Gonzalez, CEO & President of Webhead | Founder of LatinaCEO
Dr. Virginia Moody, President of Moody & Associates
Anel I. Flores, CEO of A&N Realty/ARTery
Anel I. Flores
I’m blessed to call one of these ladies my friend. Anel I. Flores has an ‘I can do anything’ kind of attitude and that comes with a side of ‘I’m going to help you do your anything, too.’ I’ve watched her grow and develop a real estate business as she shares her clients’ successes with colorful words to create the beginning of their story in their new home. Yes, she is creative. Anel is also a successful writer and artist. Her love for helping others and her love for this great city of ours comes shining through her work.
I asked her why she was willing to share a part of herself and her story at this event.
“The work that ACCION is doing for San Antonio and Texas is remarkable! I love that their doors are open to everyone with the drive, dream and desire to an independent business owner. When I have reached out to them for guidance on running my business they always make me feel welcome, and I walk away learning a lot! Their team, especially their amazing women, inspire me everyday and I am honored to speak at their event and further with my amazing colleagues!”
What can you expect to hear from Anel at 20 x 20?
“I will be sharing how identifying my core strengths, and maximizing them, have helped me succeed as an entrepreneur in the creative arts community as well as creatively in the real estate business!”
