The first installment of the Great Dames Remarkable Ideas Competition II, the ideation event, is happening Monday from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Pizza by Elizabeths in Greenville. The night is also part of the organization’s Spring 2016 Powerful Conversations series, and Bernice Whaley, the director of the Delaware Economic Development Office, will speak.
This year’s competition theme is health and wellness, and any woman with a new problem-solving idea surrounding those topics can apply through March 21.
The stakes are high: The winner receives a seed grant of $5,000, brand and social media strategy consultation from 3E Marketing Solutions, a workspace at 1313 Innovation, an assigned business mentor, a year membership to NAWBO Delaware, access to business model workshops, pitch coaching from Vocal Impact Productions and ongoing Great Dames community support. The package, Hake said, is worth more than $25,000.
To attend the ideation event, register here.
