Valentia Island Vermouth recently exhibited their award winning vermouth on the 25th Floor of the Bryant Park Hotel Manhattan, New York City. The event was organised by Jane McCooey of Women with Ambition. Through small, action-based group discussions, as well as panel discussions and larger networking events, Women with Ambition provides a space for mid-career Irish and Irish American women working in many industries and living in the New York and Tri-State area to connect more deeply, form a meaningful network, and take some time to focus on intentional self-development.
The Female Founder and Entrepreneur Expo 2024 was the second event where attendees were invited to Learn about and shop the producers products/ services of over 30 amazing Irish and American female-led brands. Which of course, as the event was held before thanksgiving, it was perfect timing for Christmas shopping.
Women with Ambition provides members with a platform to see ambition as a positive and empowering quality. While we pursue our individual goals, collectively we create a community that is redefining ambition together. Women with Ambition’s group sessions, networking events and expert guest speakers enhance confidence, uplift members, and open our eyes to enriching paths we may not have ever considered before.
