MICHIGAN PROFESSIONAL WOMEN’S NETWORK HOSTING 2013
“GET YOUR BODY & BUSINESS IN SHAPE EXPO” ON OCTOBER 24
* Annual Expo continues to flourish as more vendors and attendees
participate
SOUTHFIELD,
MI – There are just three short weeks remaining before the 22nd
annual “Get Your Body & Business In Shape” Expo hosted by the Michigan
Professional Women’s Network (MPWN). This year’s Expo is shaping up to be one
of the biggest and best ones ever. The Expo will be held from 10 am to 3 pm at
2000 Town Center Atrium in Southfield and will showcase resources for personal
and business health.
This
year’s event will include free health screenings and business support, like
anti-aging, fitness, weight control, business health, marketing, finance, and
networking resources. Admission for attendees is free and there are still a few
vendor spots available at only $180 without electricity and $205 with
electricity. Dr. Diane Buffalin, Ph. D. heads up MPWN and says this is a labor
of love for her.
“I
love this event because it brings together such a diverse group of people for
fun, education, and most especially networking,” says Buffalin. “I can’t tell
you how many times someone has stopped me after the Expo and said how they were
able to meet people that could help them or that they could help. With a rough
Michigan economy still in place, Expos like these are great for bringing people
together.”
“We’ve been very
successful with this event for 22 years and it keeps growing. We’re expecting
over 100 businesses and professional organizations, including this year some
non-profits, and well over 300 people in attendance. It’s a great and
inexpensive way for businesses to showcase their products and services, as well
as network.”
MPWN
was started in the early 80’s by women who worked at Comerica Bank and General
Motors to provide a place for women, and now men, to share resources and ideas
to develop their businesses. One of the unique features of the group is that
each year at the December holiday party, members receive money back, in the
form of gift checks, sometimes totaling thousands of dollars. The group meets
monthly, typically at the Clawson Steak House, and recently joined the
Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce.
“Who would imagine
that a small, dedicated group of women, could survive personal, professional,
and economic challenges for over 30 years and still manage to produce a free
Expo to showcase community resources for health and business in the Southfield
Area,” says the group’s Executive Director, Psychologist, Diane Buffalin, Ph.D.
“The Michigan Professional Women’s Network has managed to survive and thrive,
based on sheer energy and determination to provide a place for women in the
community to share resources and get their needs met while building a network.”
Dr. Diane was recently nominated for the Athena Award by
the Royal Oak chamber of Commerce for her tireless efforts to maintain this
group. For more information about MPWN and the Get Your Body and Business in
Shape Expo Thurs Oct 24th, please contact Dr. Diane Buffalin, visit www.mpwn.org or send e-mail to mpwn44@aol.com.
