A NOTE FROM JANET
Happy October! We're really jazzed about our two new chapters in New Jersey and coming soon — Jackson Hole, Wyoming! Susan Pieper-Bailey (HBS '92) moved to JH from Japan this summer and is working on an event for the fall. Lots of entrepreneurs, VC's, and passionate conservationists in JH! Our goal: to launch more chapters in smaller towns and cities — send us a note at info@85Broads.com if you're interested in learning more.
