Mary Kay Inc. will host its first Women's Entrepreneurship Summit on January 27th at the Fairmont Hotel in Dallas. Well-known businesses leaders will mentor, guide, teach and share their secrets to success to the new generation of entrepreneurs.

"For 53 years Mary Kay has been empowering, mentoring and promoting women entrepreneurs. Our founder, Mary Kay Ash herself was one of the greatest business minds of all time and millions of women around the world have built successful businesses by following her proven leadership and sales techniques," said Sheryl Adkins-Green, Chief Marketing Officer for Mary Kay Inc. "No one person or company has more experience with women's entrepreneurship than Mary Kay Inc. We believe that the Women's Entrepreneurship Summit will help inspire current and future female entrepreneurs."

In partnership with The Dallas Entrepreneur Center (The DEC), Mary Kay will convene experts and thought leaders, with backgrounds in fashion, high technology, consumer-packaged goods and business services, for the inaugural summit specifically designed for women business owners.

"We can think of no better partner than Dallas' own Mary Kay to provide effective tools and resources for the next generation of women innovators," said Trey Bowles, co-founder and CEO of The Dallas Entrepreneur Center. "We hope to bring some of the success-proven mindsets, processes and practices to the women that attend this inaugural Mary Kay Women's Summit."
