Country Club's Lori Abramson and Myakka City's Melissa Sinkler (above) enjoyed conversation — and, of course, the food — at the Local Chapters of Business Women networking luncheon at Speaks Clam Bar May 13.

Sinkler said women's networking organizations are important because they provide an avenue for businesswomen to not just connect but to support one another. She said women bring a different perspective to the business world.

"My husband might see something in gray and white, and I add the vivid color," said Sinkler, who works with her husband at Detweiler's Propane Gas Service.
