You and Your Intellectual Property

Program Notes:
My recent conversation with Nancy Delain offered up a wealth of information for women
around protecting our intellectual property. From helping women to pull unrecognized
golden nuggets out of their minds to assembling the structures to monetize their
inventions, Nancy has mastered all the steps necessary. And if building a franchise is
the dream, she is able to apply her skills to help women rise and thrive. A fascinating
conversation for any woman ready to launch into a new level of business and industry.
