Today in our city women are the heads of almost over half of all small and medium size enterprises, achieve serious successes in the finance and housing-and-municipal branch, in manufacture, in private education and in sphere of services. The history knows many examples when women were leading the world - stopped wars, restored enterprises from ruins, created a basis for the economy development. By virtue of natural intuition and sense of responsibility for well-being of the family women can find a way out of any, most complex situation. Today, when many states have appeared under pressure of world crisis, the female "master's" approach to any business will help us to keep stability and will give confidence of tomorrow. The future of the world is in hands of women. I wish participants of the event fruitful discussions and, certainly, further successes in business, and also the most pleasant impressions of a meeting with our wonderful city.
