We had the privilege of meeting two dynamic
women entrepreneurs who left high profile corporate
jobs to pursue and achieve entrepreneurial success.
At this event, Lubna
Khalid (founder of Real
Cosmetics) and Rosina
Samadani (founder of
Capella Advisors), narrated their interesting
journeys towards the risks and rewards that
come as a part of an entrepreneurial experience.
This was a great opportunity to learn how successful
businesses can be built by Pakistani-American
women.

The Enterprise Forum Committee is responsible
for the growth, education and success of the
entrepreneurial and business community. Our
plan is to be a breeding ground for ideas, teach
individuals on how to start a company, foster
and encourage local start-ups and attract venture
capital and angel investments. Through the Enterprise
Forum we want to provide the opportunity for
our members to network with highly successful
and accomplished individuals from within our
membership base and outside. The overall vision
is to help ideas become highly successful enterprises.
Some of the Enterprise Forum Activities will

* Provide a forum
for entrepreneurs to use OPEN as a network to
gain access to experienced executives
