“I joined the Women Entrepreneurs Organization (WEO) in 2006 shortly after starting my Visiting Angels business. It has been a great group for me, and I attribute a lot of my success to the connections and education I have received from WEO. I am currently the president of WEO, a position I am honored to hold. Important steps to achieve this? After being involved in WEO as a member, I made the decision to pursue a leadership role. I volunteered and served on the programs committee as a way to facilitate this. The WEO board is structured in that positions are held for two years, and the Program Committee Chair is also the Vice President Position. So after two years as a committee member, I served two years as the VP and now am over half way through my two year stint as president. Six years may seem like a long commitment, but this is an organization that I have felt strongly about and have enjoyed be apart of. The connections I’ve made with other business women, the experience of leading an organization and dealing with the highs and lows involved in leadership have made an impact on me. I am a better boss, I am better colleague, I am a better leader.”
