To provide a networking opportunity for the communities, Association
of Chinese Professionals (ACP) will host a business luncheon on
June 15th.
Elizabeth Showers' life story has all the elements of a great novel,
one involving triumph over adversity, fearless risk-taking and the
determined pursuit of a dream. She decided to start her own business
with twelve credit cards after taking a jewelry-making class. After
seven years, her jewelry has not gone unnoticed. Her jewelry is
available at Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and many other high-end
specialty boutiques. Hollywood heavy weights Sharon Stone, Gwyneth
Paltrow, Jeniffer Lopez and Queen Latifah have been adorned with
her design and wore her jewelry in "the Wedding Planner"
and in "Bring Down the House". Showers and her jewelry
have been featured on CNN and Oprah's shows and have been profiled
in InStyle, Elle, People and Cosmopolitan as well as many other
fashion and industry magazines.
Do you want to know such a successful entrepreneur personally? Do
you want to find out the stories behind her and how she overcame
the difficulties she encountered? Do you intend to know more business
partners? Please come to our Business Luncheon to find all the solutions.
