Inspiring and leading the way

The Commission for Women of Bossier City hosted its annual Inspiring Women Week, March 15-22. The organization was established in 1986 to serve as an advocacy group for women in the Bossier City area. This year’s events honored female entrepreneurs and included a kickoff breakfast with Opha Phillips of Coldwell Banker and a relaxing Sunday brunch at Ralph & Kacoo’s on March 19. The celebration’s signature event, the Inspiring Women Week Luncheon, featured Teresa Allen.
