ELIZABETH “ LIZ ” GLASER B ROEKMAN VICE PRESIDENT DIRECTOR OF P . O . W . E . R . AT FIDELITY BANK st
If there ’ s one word to describe Liz Glaser Broekman , it ’ s passionate . The dynamic “ girl on the geaux ” joined Fidelity Bank in 2016 and one year later helped to launch P . O . W . E . R . ( Potential of Women Entrepreneurs Realized ), a unique , women-owned business initiative . “ P . O . W . E . R . is my passion . I feel like it ’ s my way of connecting women who otherwise may not have met ,” said Liz . The program offers networking opportunities , plus financial , educational and business resources , to its 1,500 members . In addition to quarterly luncheons and seminars , members are invited to attend smaller networking events typically held at a bank branch or a member ’ s business . “ We keep the attendance to about ten women so it really gives members the opportunity to share more details of their challenges and needs . The best way to describe it is magical ! It ’ s truly something powerful
how o to be in a room filled with amazing women all helping each other to succeed .” Liz approaches all of her passions with vigor and devotion , and her fur babies are no exception . “ During Covid , things were depressing ; we began talking about getting a dog . I went to Zeus ’ Place just to see a few dogs and came home with Zoe ,” she said of the adorable three-year-old terrier . “ Zoe and I had an immediate connection and I knew that she was meant to come home with me .” One year later , Liz ’ s husband Jason wanted a hunting companion , so Lola , a four-month-old Labrador , joined the family . “ I can ’ t imagine life without our pups . They are part of the family and always love you no matter what .”
