The Guam Business Magazine Businesswoman of the Year Survival Webinar
This year is the 15th Anniversary of the Guam Business Magazine Businesswoman of the Year program, and I would like to thank your organization for its support as we reach this milestone – even though we cannot meet in person this year to celebrate together. 
 
In recognition of the event, we invited a number of Businesswomen of the Year in Guam and Saipan to share how they survived in business in the first months of our COVID experience, and what they personally learned along the way.
We hope that you will share the link to the Webinar with your board and membership. https://www.facebook.com/105735284384163/posts/173589004265457/
