 BY, FOR, AND ABOUT WOMEN: The Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce kicked off its new Women in Business Alliance May 25 with a reception at PNC Bank on Nassau Street. The featured speaker was Terry Adams of the Adams Consulting Group, who spoke to the more than 100 in attendance about the different ways men and women behave in business situations.

Men speak one way; women speak another. Males of the species miss verbal cues; females pick up on them. These key differences in behavior were among several cited by speaker Terry Adams in “Mars & Venus: Bridging the Communication Gap,” a talk held at the opening event of the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business Alliance on May 25. With this new program, the Chamber aims to foster connections and collaborations between business women and community leaders, and provide advocacy for women’s issues.
