ATLANTA, October 18, 2006 – In the November issue of PINK, famed financial advisor Suze Orman lists 12 ways women can find greater wealth and finally liberate their money. "Even though we have grown up – we're making money, we're doing all kinds of things," says Orman, "we're still acting 'pink' with our money." She shows how to improve your financial future today.
And mark your calendar – PINK has already sold out conferences in Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and New York, but there are still some seats available at the final three luncheons in San Francisco, Boston and Charlotte, N.C. Check pinkmagazine.com to register and meet some of America's most influential women in business.
DRIVEN TO SUCCEED Lisa France Kennedy, president of International Speedway Corp., helped propel her family's business into the biggest motorsports operator in the country, raking in $740.1 million last year, up 14 percent from 2004. And sole female Indy racecar driver Danica Patrick finished fourth in last year's Indy 500 – the sports biggest event – becoming "Rookie of the Year." Read their exclusive interviews.
HEAVY HITTERS Close to 40 percent of men's professional sports fans are women but only one-third of key management positions in the sports industry are women – and hitting home runs. For example, since Bernadette Mansur began heading the NHL's communications, sales of their merchandise have grown 700 percent to $1 billion. From the LPGA to NIKE to Major League Baseball, meet the women behind the plate.
TRADE SECRETS You and your staff can travel, dine, give gifts and conduct business "for free" – or, at least, without cash.

Learn how the right trade agreement can equal big value for your brand.
