Lauren Feaster, Professional Dimensions CEO, led the meeting, including the announcement of Professional Dimensions’ partnership with the Sherman Phoenix Foundation for the Women and Moms Entrepreneurship Project. Professional Dimensions committed $100,000 to the project which serves as a hub to provide coaching, support and funding to women entrepreneurs.
