What Do Great Dames Think?

   

                                                                                                                             

We are following some Remarkable Women in the Great Dames community.  
They are teaching us what it means to activate their "GreatDamenes" and leave their
Mark on the World. We had an opportunity to speak with Betsy LeRoy, successful restaurateur for more than 20 years, who has been recognized as "Delaware's BEST" in every category, because she CARES about her customers,
her employees and the community.  She's a Great Dame!

Q. What does it mean to be a Great Dame?  

Betsy: "Treating people well and trying to help others whenever I can. It doesn't matter whether you are a super successful business woman or a great Mom,

you can be Great Dame."

 

Q. Best advice you've ever received?
Betsy: "From my business partner, Betty: 'It's not that you can't do it, it's that you don't know how to do it - yet! Don't worry about it, you'll learn.'"
