Thank you all for joining us at last month's Women in Business Committee Meeting. We had a wonderful turnout and fantastic insight from Clelia Pergola's personal journey. Thank you for sharing! Additionally thank you all for joining us for our most recent Women In Business Luncheon "Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life" with special guest Joan Herrmann and chair, Karen Frank. In these times we appreciate the ability to gather even if it isn't in person, to accomplish the mission, "Propelling Women to Greater Personal and Professional Success".

A big thank you to my co-chairs:

A Thank You from Marcy Hoffer

Dear Fellow WIB ladies,
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you all for the emails, texts, calls and the beautiful new accessories/wardrobe. Being a part of WIB has truly been a blessing for me. When I walk into the meetings I know I am among strong, wonderful women who are so supportive. These past several months you have been there to lift me up and I can't begin to explain how appreciative I am to all of you.  

A special thanks to Sharon Kornstein for picking out so many beautiful items. I am excited to wear each piece she found for me.  

Sending virtual hugs,
Marcy 
Our Condolences...

In lieu of flowers or food trains, please consider donating to Lester's favorite charity, The Gary Sinise Foundation. Please keep our beloved Debbie and her family in your thoughts and prayers!
Upcoming Events

The WIB Program is leveraging Paradigm Marketing and Designs' Table for Four virtual lunchtime events each Monday from 12 to 1 p.m. Grab your lunch and hop on a Zoom group, each with 4 guests. We’ll chat, connect and keep our positivity flowing!

Paradigm will ensure that there are exclusive WIB “tables” at each event. To register for a WIB table, be sure to select a “Women In Business Member” ticket upon registration. 

You can reserve your seat for one day, two days, or as many as you want! Expect instructions and the names of your tablemates the business day before the event.

Please note: Reservations close on the previous Thursday at noon for Monday events, and Monday at noon for Wednesday events so Paradigm has time to set up the tables

We look forward to seeing YOU at a Table for Four!
