Women of all backgrounds come together every day to grow and empower each other, to make a difference in our communities, and furthermore to grow personally and professionally! This year I asked your board representatives

2015 Goal Planning A new year brings new excitement and anticipation, but can also bring feelings of anxiety and being overwhelmed when looking at making personal and/or professional goals. We can often feel lost in making large lofty goals without a thorough action plan on how to achieve these goals. Individuals that plan goals and outline them into measurable and achievable tasks find success in reaching their end goal. We hope that the chart below can help you realize the success of your goals this year. Keep us informed on your goals, progress and how we can help you achieve success!
