I can’t believe that we’re only eight days from the Wnet Leadership Summit in Atlanta! Our Event Strategy Committee has been working diligently to empower attendees to invest in themselves, their financial future, lifelong learning and in others so they can navigate their careers with certainty and lead through change. As chair of the committee, I welcome, in advance, those of you who are attending! Wnet Leadership will spend time greeting attendees right before the 15th Anniversary Opening Night Celebration, brought to you by Global Payments. For those unable to attend, watch Wnet Member Community, SocialLink, and social media for updates and this newsletter for event summaries: LinkedIn Twitter Facebook
Bidding for our new Online Silent Auction is now open! Items include everything from jewelry and wine to experiences and travel! Auction items are still being accepted, so donate now with the easy online system.
I look forward to meeting those of you attending the Summit!
