Being Peter Kim: My Day With The C200.

This is the story of the energy, creativity and lessons to be learned emanating from a meeting of  a fairly low-key and extremely high-powered group, Committee 200, in which membership is invitation only for women who either own businesses over $15 million or manage a corporate division over $250 million.

Ok.  Many of us…..well, most of us… are not quite there yet.  But AdvancingWomen.com thinks most of us would like to be.  And if we try to learn from these women’s stories, keep blowing our own horn and adding value to our comapanies….we very well could be. ( It never hurts to have a “stretch” goal!)

According to Kim, “The conference started in a way that said, “Texas.”  Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison rode into a ballroom at the Four Seasons Las Colinas on a horse.  (!)  I can just imagine the discussion between the event planners and the Four Seasons staff to make that idea turn into reality…

At lunch, three awards were presented to:
- Marsha Serlin, Founder and CEO of United Scrap Metal, for entrepreneurship.  I never knew that scrap metal could make for such a compelling story of determination and perseverance.
- Susan Arnold, President of Global Business Units at P&G, for corporate innovation.  A woman who directs $83 billion of brands that the world uses daily.  Who enjoys being barefoot around the office.
- Jacqueline Novogratz, Founder and CEO of The Acument Fund, for philanthropy.  Her experiences with making water accessible in India and fighting malaria in Africa were mesmerizing.
