A MESSAGE FROM THE FOUNDER & PUBLISHER When the mantle seems heavy, remember that you were made for this.... Our year in review includes, 2 National & Internaional Magazine covers, celebrating our 5th Year Anniversary with our first full business conference, our 3rd Women Live!TV Season, our 1st Published Anthology and release in Macys, our 7th Local Magazine Publication, our move into North Metro, our meeting with the Governor of Georgia, our recognition from the GA House of Representatives floor, our Top 50 Women Of Influence Acknowledgements, to now our 1stt Billboard on 1-75 and more...Whew! Our membership continues to expand and we are always looking for ways to continue to add value to our membership. Thank you to all of our Media Participants, our Institutional Partners, Members and Sponsors. We are appreciative of you and hope that you have received enormous value. We're excited about our future and we are excited about your future!
God gives us what we can handle...always remember that. When the mantle seems heavy, remember that you were made for this. It has been a pleasure leading this organization since I founded it 5 years ago. We have truly been blessed to be able to achieve so much, so quickly and with such trajectory. 2023 has been one productive year! Our members have been able to gain exposure from a Local Level to an International Level. We have maintained our focus on ensuring that we educate, support, advocate, and train women ownd businesses and women in business. Being the leader of fellow female bosses certainy comes with its own challenges but I would not trade this time with you all. Congratulations to all the members who participated in media, in networking events, training opportunities, and even our give back opportunities. Whether you were on the front of a magazine cover or a contributer for an article, or speaking to our Middle School Girls, you are appreciated and valued. We ensure that we express that value at our year end event, The Chairwomen’s Luncheon, which serves as a refuel and empowerment session to end the year strong and to begin the new year refreshened.
For 2024, it is important that we retool what’s working and remove what is not working. Our organization will no longer operate under county chapters but under North/South and out of state regions. For 2024 we want to see more travel and we want to place more effort behind our new PAC. Many of our members have a solid foundation and it is now important that we work on scaling. Remember, we are here to help you grow, scale, and to gain exposure. Trainings for professional and business development, to diversifying your business offerings, services and products, and to getting certied as women owned businesses-- are all still and will remain consistent recommendations. Remember, you got this! Move in spite of fear, it does not have to be fearless. And I will always support those who support me. Blessings to you and yours. Have a safe and fabulous Holiday and an amazing New Year!
