SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Women in Consulting (WIC), a
collaborative community of professional consultants and small business
owners in the San Francisco Bay Area, today announced that the nonprofit's
10th anniversary event will be held in Mountain View, CA on October 16.
Celebrating WIC's "Passion, Purpose, and Perseverance," the event will
include a silent auction, a fine art sale, and networking opportunities.
Kim Fulcher, CEO of Compass and mylifecompass.com, will give the keynote
presentation on "Three Keys for Entrepreneurial Success: Passion,
Strengths, and Purpose."
Over the past decade, WIC has grown to more than 400 members and
affiliates from the Bay Area and beyond. Representing a diverse range of
industry and domain-specific expertise, WIC consultants have deep
experience working with and consulting to a wide array of clients --
including some of the most respected companies in the world, such as Bank
of America, Cisco Systems, Genentech, Hewlett-Packard, Procter & Gamble,
and Wells Fargo.
Sridhar Ramanathan, general partner at Aventi Group, commented, "The
members of WIC are a truly impressive group of highly talented and
trustworthy professionals. As a partner in a specialized consulting

and can personally attest to the quality, responsiveness, and overall
professionalism exhibited by the WIC consultants that I've hired."
"We're extremely proud of how far WIC has come over the past decade in
terms of helping members succeed in their individual businesses and
consulting practices, as well as building a strong and diverse network of
committed professionals," said WIC President Linda Popky. "Our recent
compensation survey revealed that WIC members have continued to grow their
businesses and thrive despite operating in an extremely challenging and
uncertain economic climate. We want to celebrate these collective
achievements and set our sights on continued success during the next decade
and beyond."
