PLA! Summer Social A Success

PLA! Summer Social A Success

7/20/2014, Quincy, MA — On Thursday, July 10th, PLA! held their 2014 Summer Social, and it was quite a success! Anastasia Barnes, BD Manager of High-Profile, was amongst the 80+ women attending the event.

 

Co-founded by Maureen Rystrom of J. Calnan & Associates and Kris Esposito of Office Resources Inc., PLA! is an acronym for the Professional Ladies Association and is geared towards helping women connect through networking, education, “just for fun” events, philanthropy and mentoring. Their intent is to grow it into the premier women’s networking association in Boston and beyond! Currently, there are over 200 professional women including brokers, end users, property managers, project managers, architects, designers and service providers of all levels who have attended various events hosted by PLA! The Boston Business Journal has sponsored PLA! for the last two years at their Advancing Women’s Conference and they are proud to have the Ellie Fund (www.elliefund.org ) as our Charity Partner.

 

With the help of PLA! sponsors, J. Calnan & Associates and Office Resources, and tickets sales, PLA! was able to make another significant donation to The Ellie Fund., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that fights breast cancer by easing its effects on patients and families.
