Executive Women's Event

At our Executive Women’s events, held in cities nationwide, Sister to Sister helps women in leadership roles recognize that heart disease is a life-or-death issue for women that they can help resolve.

The Boston Executive Women’s Breakfast was held on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 in The WCVB-TV studio in Needham, MA.

Emmy Award winning actress Tracey Conway was the keynote speaker.  Tracey resides in Seattle, WA and visited Boston solely for this engagement.  She told her story of being an actress who was 38.  While on the set of her tv show, she suffered a heart episode and would have died had it not been for a medically trained guest in the audience.  She stressed the importance of learning CPR, taking care of oneself and paying attention to the signs and symptoms of heart attacks.  She provided a wonderful combination of science and entertainment to the guests.
