Think of today’s inaugural North Georgia Women’s Expo as “a very purposeful girls’ day out,” says event emcee Valerie Simmons-Walston. A networking event for local women of achievement and local businesses, the Expo debuts from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the Brenau Downtown Center in Gainesville. Sponsored by The Times, the event aims to connect women, the most powerful consumer group, with businesses, services and agencies.
