Tips for Breaking the Million Dollar Glass Ceiling for Women Entrepreneurs: The rate of growth in the numbers of women-owned businesses is soaring, but the percentage who break through the glass ceiling to more than a million dollars in revenue is flat — one third that of men. Why do some women break through the ceiling and how can you? Drawn from interviews with leading women entrepreneurs and her work as a mentor and coach to start-up and growth businesses, Geri Stengel provide 3 secrets to breaking through the glass ceiling.

The Queens Economic Development Corporation and Queens Tourism Council will host Queens Taste 2024 at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Tuesday, May 21, from 6 pm to 9 pm.

We expect to attract more than 500 attendees with 50 restaurants and beverage purveyors, who will offer samples of their products. Thus, attendees will be able to bounce from table to table, tasting treats from tangy to fiery, crunchy to velvety, and sweet to briny.

Queens Taste is also a celebration of the borough -- and a great way to network. Almost all the anticipated 500 attendees either live in Queens or do business there. Many are executives and captains of industry. The atmosphere is always festive, almost giddy, creating an ideal scene for meeting and greeting.
