Women build network to tackle business, social issues

Monday, November 19, 2007

By Mary Fortune

Staff Writer

Sitting with her mother and sister around a kitchen table last year, Tekelia Kelly had a revelation: the three women were trying to succeed professionally and trying to do it alone.

"It hit me how we were making our efforts independently, like operating on a island," Mrs. Kelly said.

She went home and built a Web site to help women connect and support each other. Dubbing her fledgling idea "Sisters in Business," Mrs. Kelly saw it grow to include more than 100 businesses and a roster of almost 30 corporate sponsors who have been members since the site's February 2006 debut.

"My Web developer told me, 'You are growing like a snowball rolling down a hill,' " Mrs. Kelly said. "It has just really taken off."

As women gained more power in the world of work, they learned to use advocacy and support networks to help themselves and their peers succeed. In recent years, they have helped launch efforts that aim to accomplish everything from sending underprivileged women to college to promoting each other's businesses and mentoring younger women.

"Unique Approach"
Having a forum where everyone understands the challenges of being female in the work force makes for a special environment, said Julie Bestry, a member of the Chattanooga chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners, which came together in 1990.

"Women have a unique approach to business," said Ms. Bestry, the owner of Best Results Organizing.

"Men are not eager to talk about their failings or their challenges, but women I find are comfortable with opening up and saying, 'These are the skills and talents I have; these other areas are my areas of weakness; can I seek your experience, your guidance,' " she said. "That's an amazing thing."

The Chattanooga chapter of Executive Women International formed 20 years ago with a mission of advancing women's education, said chapter President Tanya English, a paralegal at the Miller & Martin firm. The chapter has 64 member firms, she said, and it grew about 40 percent in its last fiscal year.

"There are so many more professional women out there today, and a lot of single professional women," Ms. English said.

But in a male-dominated business world, women typically haven't been invited onto the golf course or to the ball game where many professional relationships are built, said Kristi Haulsee, vice president for member-investor services at the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce. These groups give women a way to build their own networks and feed their professional goals, she said.

"We are each other's best advocates," she said.

Last year, the Chamber created three local awards to honor women in business and leadership. The Nautilus Awards were an outgrowth of the national Athena Award, which has been given in Chattanooga since 1997, Ms. Haulsee said.

The Nautilus Awards recognize three people: one who has worked in grass-roots efforts to improve the lives of women, a female entrepreneur and a high school junior or senior with strong science and math aptitude. Next year, the Nautilus Awards will include a fourth recipient -- a woman who is over 25 who will receive money for college.

Lifting each other up
The growth of recognition and support for women in work and education is a natural result of generations of women pushing their way into the workplace, Ms. Haulsee said.

In 1960, about 43 percent of women ages 25 to 54 were in the work force, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By 2005, more than 75 percent of women in that age range were part of the labor force.

"Women before us did a whole lot," Ms. Haulsee said. "These groups are really trying to help women understand that we need to help each other and lift each other up."

Mrs. Kelly said she could have used such an organization when she was an engineering student, entering a "man's world" and struggling to find her way.

"I felt very vulnerable, especially when I started having children," said Mrs. Kelly, the mother of three children who range in age from 21 to 12. "What has happened is that I've come through the ages, and I see this new paradigm of women saying, 'My family is important; my career is important; I better look out for myself.' "

Carol Berz, the head of Private Dispute Resolution in Chattanooga and the chairwoman of the Tennessee Economic Council on Women, said there is still much to be done to make women successful in Tennessee, which ranks 49th nationally in women's political participation.

"It's important for women to network and get to know each other so that they can help each other gain financial and personal success," she said.

Encouraging women to seek leadership roles is one of the missions of the Women's Leadership Institute, said Marj Flemming, managing director.

The local organization began 11 years ago as informal meetings of seven friends who got together every couple of weeks to talk about "the state of things for women in Tennessee, for women in Chattanooga, how much progress women had made and how much we needed to make," she said.

"Finally we decided, 'We can sit and talk about this forever, but we'd better do something about it,' " she said.

The group's annual leadership address has grown by 150 people a year, and this year's event featuring Gloria Steinem in January already has 510 people booked, Ms. Flemming said.

"We offer programs that hopefully introduce people to new ideas about their own development," she said.

Sisters In Business Founder and Owner Tekelia Cassaundra (Crutcher) Kelly will be one given the distinctive honor of the 2007 "Unbought and Unbossed" Award presented by Girls Inc of Chattanooga.

Girls Incorporated of Chattanooga honors women in Chattanooga who have made significant contributions to the advancement of women in the community at their annual UnBought and UnBossed awards program. The event is held during March in celebration of Women’s History Month.

UnBought and UnBossed is a tribute to the spirit and determination of Shirley Chisholm, the first African American woman to run for president of the United States. Ms. Chisholm declared herself to be a representative of all people and made a commitment to serve as a leader who would remain “unbought and unbossed.

“Chattanooga is rich in history, but women’s history usually takes a back seat,” says Maxine Bailey, president & CEO of Girls Incorporated of Chattanooga. “Honoring Chattanooga’s influential women at UnBought and UnBossed is our way of celebrating the powerful impact they have had in our community.”

The UnBought and UnBossed honorees are selected by teen girls who participate in Girls Incorporated’s women’s history project. The girls identify women in our community whom they consider role models. This year’s honorees include: Vicky Gregg, president & CEO of BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee; Anna Van Cura, founding director of Ballet Tennessee; Selma Cash Paty, attorney at Paty, Rymer & Ulin; Sharon Kelly, owner and operator of Rose of Sharon Senior Villa (and client of Sisters In Business); Rebecca Smith, director of scholarships for the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga; Sonia Sasse, community activist; Dr. Minnie Vance, physician; Heidi Hefferlin, founding principal and president of Hefferlin Kronenberg Architects; Sheila Jennings, community activist; Judge Rebecca Stern, Hamilton County Criminal Court; Tekelia Kelly, founder and owner of Sisters In Business; Sherrie Gilchrist, president and CEO of Chattanooga African American Chamber of Commerce; the Chattanooga firefighting team of Captain Benita Owens and firefighters Melissa Miller and Kelly Liles; and the Chattanooga Locomotion, Chattanooga’s professional women’s football team.

“It’s not only a celebration of history but a celebration of achievement,” says Ruth Brinkley, president and CEO of Memorial Health Care System, a recipient of last year's UnBought and UnBossed award and honorary chair for 2007. “These women not only attained personal goals and aspirations, but paved the way for young girls to understand the many rewarding opportunities open to women in the world today.”

At the UnBought and UnBossed Award breakfast ceremony, the girls will illustrate the link between past, present and future generations of female leadership by honoring their role models with awards and recognition. This year’s event will be held Tuesday, March 20 at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Imperial Ballroom from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Tickets are $250 for a table of eight, $32 for a mother/daughter package, $24 for adults and $14 for students.

BLUSH MAGAZINE: Tekelia Kelly's ‘Her Mark’ Article, February 2008, Chattanooga, TN

Tekelia Kelly

by Nancy Henderson

"Exuberant" might be too mild a word to describe Tekelia Kelly. The minute you ask her about Sisters in Business, the company she founded two years ago to promote businesswomen in the marketplace, she starts talking faster. "My passion and my vision give me energy;' says the petite, outgoing entrepreneur with the startlingly firm handshake. "I want the community to be connected. I want everybody to win.”

A self-proclaimed "geek;' Tekelia majored in industrial engineering at the University of Memphis and, for 15 years, worked as a service engineer, project manager and information technology consultant. In 1995, she started her own computer training business, FYI (For Your Information), setting up programs for companies and schools. By 1998, she and her husband were ready to come back to Chattanooga, their hometown.

One day in early 2006, she and her sister were talking about how difficult it is for women to start and maintain their own businesses. "Well, the first thing that needs to happen;' she blurted out, "is that everybody needs to be connected." Inspired by the conversation, Tekelia went home, created the Sisters in Business (SIB) website and set out to offer advertising, training and networking events ranging from mixers to workshops to trade shows. The company, she points out, is "a for-profit business with non-profit outreach appeal." Members hail from all socioeconomic, cultural and professional backgrounds. Some own home-based. businesses, mom-and-pop stores and franchises; others are doctors, lawyers and high-level executives. "It is so beautiful to see;' says Tekelia. "You get all these different wonderful women, but they all have a heart of sisterhood."

A performer at heart, she's too busy to pursue theater work right now, but she makes time to sing on her church's praise team. And SIB gives her the creative elbowroom she's always craved. "When I was in the corporate world, I would always have to water myself down;' she says.” Now I can be all the things I'm shaped to be."

She is especially fired” up about AYES (Alternative Youth Economic Solutions-the acronym is pronounced a-yes), a training and internship program for teens and young adults, which is now being offered at Chattanooga State. It's a 3-Certificate job readiness for ages 15 and up. "There are certain parts of our culture that got lost in terms of mentoring and interpersonal skills.” Tekelia says, excitement rising in her voice. “The baton handoff got lost somewhere between adults and youth. It is my passion--can you tell I’m passionate?—to help bridge that.”

The purpose of AYES is to empower youth as employees and entrepreneurs through education, enrichment, enterprise, employment and economic development.

Businesses will be given the opportunity to serve as subject matter experts on class business projects and applications as they relate to their businesses, and have a platform to demo products and services, share company information, and present job opportunities.

The two-tiered program has a curriculum that can be delivered as tracks themed: "Mind Your Business", which focuses on developing one's business skills for personal life and career; and "Mind Your Own Business", which focuses on developing one's entrepreneur business skills.

Mrs. Kelly has left a track record of selfless dedication at just about all levels of the educational system in not only the city, but also throughout the region and state. This beloved, semi-retired educator’s influence on several generations of students in the Chattanooga area has been nothing short of profound. During the course of her career, she enriched the lives ofenerations of young people in the Chattanooga area through her love for her students and dedication to teaching. She dedicated herself to her personal mission of helping students achieve their educational goals, encouraging them to work to their fullest potential and challenging them to give back to their community.

Sisters In Business congratulates Mrs. Doris Kelly for her many wonderful contributions made to the Chattanooga Community, and wishes to express our sincere and personal appreciation for her making it her "heart and soul" business to educate others well...and thus taking care of the community. Best wishes on your 90th birthday!

I just would like to give a hats off to Sisters In Business for all the support you gave me on “Choices for Care” for the elderly and disabled in Tennessee. I know that without all the support we received from our community, our Governor would not have made the decision to include services such as Adult Daycare and In Home Respite; and give an increase in Personal Care Services in the Medicaid waiver this fiscal year for our elderly and disabled. Thanks to sistersinbusiness.net for bringing awareness to the community by the newsletters, and the direct link from the sistersinbusiness.net web site to AARP, to sign-up for the Choices for Care Campaign. Also the “Girl Friend” site was great! We were able to take over 59 people with us to Nashville on April 5, 2006 to Rally because of all the support we received from you and others. Thanks you sistersinbusiness.net for ALL YOUR HELP. I am glad to be a part of such a great organization of women that's going some where when it comes to doing business.

Your Sister,

Sharon Kelly

Disparity Study Regarding Minorities and Women-Owned Businesses Before Council. Deferred Until later date.

The Disparity Study, scheduled to reviewed by the Chattanooga City Council the week of June 27, has been deferred until a later date to assure ample attendance of council members.

The study involves several factors, of which include the analysis of contracting practices, and equal opportunity for participation in contracts where minorities and women owned businesses are concerned.

Also the study is to provide "both qualitative and quantative data from a socio-economic perspective that will be used to drive the work of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and its advisory board."

Sisters Open For Business

Networking in Black History Month

Februay 10, 2006-- Welcome to sistersinbusiness.net (SIB). In this issue we are celebrating Black History Month and the Grand Opening of "sistersinbusiness.net! We would like to pay tribute to the "legacy and livelihood" of all African-American women entrepreneurs, from those of our past to all of us today!

SIB is an strategic networking, marketing and advertising firm, which offers comprehensive business development resources; service and social events; and online services such as an eBusiness Directory, Web Store Pages, Online Shopping, and Sister’s Showcase with customer specials. No stone’s been left unturned with this savvy new networking business, that is also a social organization, and outreach.

SIB was conceived out of a desire to develop and empower small(er) women-owned businesses through relationships with each other, other businesses, customers, advertisers, sponsors, supporters, and the community.

SIB works to promote, prosper, and move into position the creative and innovative genius of “up-and-coming” businesses, along with their products and services.

Plans for the SIB Member Website also include a linked Chattanooga Visitors web portal, to offer ad choices for Food, Spa Salons, Hair, Entertainment, Shopping, Church, Childcare, Fun, & more!

SIB works to market its members’ products and services, both online and in traditional markets, to take full advantage of the marketplace today; and the ability to do business locally and world-wide.

On Monday, February 20, join SIB on the broadcast of WNOO 1260 AM/WTUN 101.9 FM, from 2:00-3:00 pm. On Thursday, February, 23, 6:00 pm, SIB will host its first open Membership Drive meeting at Sharon’ Adult Day Care, located at 2000 Raulston Ave. For more info, phone 423.698.2611.

Sisters’ Annual Membership Drive Special

As SIB is now launching its first Website; then next, Chattanooga Visitors Portal, we are also very diligently working to sign-up the great number of women who are excited about the great idea of networking! These women are embracing the vision; and smart to know to get in on the ground level, of what they say, “is going to be BIG!”

All have said that the benefits of joining: 1-year membership, customer referrals, interpersonal and online networking; business resources, web and print marketing/advertising services; customized Store/Shop/Office Web Pages; showcase of products/services, Sister-of-the-Month Tributes; and incentives such as social events, radio talk shows, conferences, and workshops are more than worth the $100 price tag.
