As we look ahead to where we are going in 2014 based on this roadmap proposed by our dedicated Board, we ask for the support of our committed members. Our visions for the year will only see success with a combined effort from our Board and members. Your thoughts and voices are encouraged in this process.

   

We would be remiss if we pondered the future without reflecting on the past. In my recent role as President I received a treasure of history and memories in the form of photographs, news clippings, and a scrapbook. This collection of visual celebrations of the achievements of Women In Business over the years belongs in the hands of our members that made them happen. For this reason, I invite you to share in the rich past of our organization at our upcoming events in March and April, where these photos and announcements will be displayed and available for you to take home.

 

I look forward to another fun-filled and adventurous year with Women In Business, and I thank each and every one of you for your continued investment in our organization!


Best Regards,

Janneke (Quick) Sobeck
