The EXPO will be throughout the Arundel Mills Mall with vendors showcasing the latest finds for moms - fashion, beauty, home products, amazing business opportunities, local attractions, and specialized services moms and dads are always on the lookout for.

Local "Mompreneur" to Celebrate Women and the Entrepreneurial Spirit

Nicole Germain, mother, wife, and business owner, brings together mompreneurs from across Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic for the 2nd Annual Fabulous Moms: Women's Small Business Expo & Conference.

Ellicott City, MD - November 10, 2011 - Fabulous Moms: Women's Small Business Expo & Conference is the brainchild of Nicole Germain. Like many of her friends and clients, Germain is a business owner, mom, wife, and volunteer.

The event brings together mompreneurs from across Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic to network, learn from forward-thinking professionals, as well as sell and promote their products and services.

Germain is the owner of MJG Communications, Inc., a marketing, publicity, and event-planning company that caters to women small business owners.
