Silvers worked in the corporate human resources world for more than 20 years before she decided to go into business for herself. Tired of office politics, long meetings and stuffy clothes, she cashed out her stock options and went on a self-described sabbatical for a year, working on building her new home in the meantime.
Risky as it was, and especially is during tough economic times, she wouldn’t trade it for anything. “There are only two things I missed about being in the corporate world when I first left: my group health insurance and the IT department,” she confesses. “I love the energy that comes with working for yourself. I still work long hours, but now there’s a direct relationship between the number of hours I work and how successful I am.”
NAWBO Sacramento women with their guests and sponsored girls attended the August 20th Monarchs WNBA basketball game at Arco Arena. Our members brought with them Sacramento children from both La Familia as well as members of Girl Scout Troop 214/Leonardo da Vinci Elementary school. The kids & their chaperones were treated to high-fives from the Monarchs players as they entered the court for their pre-game warmup. Our NAWBO group cheered througout the game and the Monarchs delivered, defeating the Indiana Fever 67-62.
