"My passion is to inspire and empower women. In 2006, I started Elle Group a networking organization consisting of ladies with all backgrounds, walks of life and ages for the purpose of supporting the needs, wants and desires, professionally and personally of one other. My dream is that this network grows, in size and its ability to provide women with the resources and support whatever their issues or challenges, as well as, giving praise and applause for a job well done. As it is essential to be recognized for our achievements and triumphs, more importantly, we all need to be acknowledged for our attempts and efforts," explains Tara Becker, founder.
