Charleston Women Summer 2020

www.CharlestonBrides.com | www.ChsWomenInBusiness.com | www.ReadCWomen.com 32 - CW O n the following pages are profiles of just a few of the exemplary female leaders in our Lowcountry community, including entrepreneurs, doctors, dentists, veterinarians, executives and creatives. These women have robust careers while simultaneously managing other aspects of their lives, whether that means a family or another passion project, such as volunteering spare time to a community cause. Still, the common thread all of these women possess is strength — strength to defy the odds or overcome challenges; strength to persist; and strength to tirelessly pursue their dreams. This section also includes a collection of several Charleston real estate professionals, all women who are making their mark in a once male-dominated field. The tides are turning, though, and the demographic for females in this profession has now tipped to 67%. (Source: 2019 National Association of REALTORS® Member Profile). In fact, some of the most profound success stories in our local real estate history are attributed to women. As you read these profiles, remember that you encounter these women on a regular basis: they own the shops and restaurants you frequent; they handle your professional services; and they are at the helm of your health care needs. In other words, these Charleston women are your neighbors, and our communities are so much better because of women like them — and like you.
