Background: Writer, lawyer, financial professional, teacher, speaker and leader are titles reflecting Brona Pinnolis’s lifetime of achievement. Brona Pinnolis is a principal presenter of Women, Money & Cheesecake money workshops for women and a regular contributor to several paper and online publications on financial, law and business issues. She is a graduate of Northwestern University and The George Washington University National Law Center, as well as the Hadassah Leadership Academy, a three year program in leadership training. With nearly thirty years of law practice, Brona brings a healthy dose of reality to the table. As a courtroom and appellate attorney, she has an ability to get to the heart of any matter and present important information in a clear, concise and forceful method.
Always a lover of the written word, Brona has contributed articles to various publications including the national publication Twins Magazine, Memphis Minority Business Magazine, Jewish Scene Magazine and other regional and local publications. She is co-author of the upcoming Women, Money & Cheesecake: The Sweet Truth about You and Your Money, the companion book to the Cheesecake workshops. She maintains several blogs including those for her business, Be Write There, a freelance business and legal writing company.
Brona also teaches at the University level, focusing on business and law classes for undergraduates and graduate students. Among courses she teaches are Business Ethics, Cultural Diversity and Business Law for MBA students.
Throughout her career, both as a professional and as a community volunteer, Brona has been a public speaker and motivator. She has served on numerous boards and executive committees and currently serves on a regional board for one of her volunteer organizations. She believes working in the volunteer world has much to offer the professional arena, as there is nothing so challenging as leading in a situation where your workforce can literally walk away at a moment’s notice.
Brona has previously been a featured speaker at events sponsored by ewomennetwork, Ladies Who Launch, the Society for Human Resource Managers as well as numerous volunteer organizations. She has appeared as a guest on the Memphis Minority Business radio show, Live@9 TV talk show and is just as happy to speak to the person waiting in line with her at the grocery store as she is to a room of thousands.
In the middle of all this, Brona runs her home with four teenagers, three dogs and incessant, relentless access by cellphone. In fact, even the dogs have managed to call her through the miracle of speed dialing.
