November Professional Development Luncheon
November 21 | 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. | PeachTree Catering
5 Elements of Well Being
|
|
For the past 4 months Chair Krista Kippenberger has reminded members to give their Best Yes, both at home and at work. The November Professional Development Luncheon will feature Melody Morgan who will help attendees to take stock of their 5 areas of well being: career, social, physical, financial and community. She’ll walk attendees through exercises focused on identifying which areas they are strongest and which areas need extra attention, while helping to identify roadblocks that could stifle our growth. As we inch closer to the holidays, this luncheon is the perfect opportunity to set ourselves up to close out our year balanced, and begin a new year with our well being front of mind.
Registration is closed; walk ins available at the door

ATHENA Nominations Open Now
Its time to start thinking about an exceptional professional to nominate for the ATHENA Leadership Award or ATHENA Young Professional Award today.
The ATHENA Leadership Award
is presented to a woman, or man, who is honored for attaining professional excellence, community service and for actively assisting women in their achievement of professional excellence and leadership skills. This year's ATHENA will join the ranks of other incredible professionals in our community, including most recent recipient, Jan Grossman.
The ATHENA Young Professional Award honors emerging leaders who strive toward the highest levels of personal and professional accomplishment, who excel in their chosen field, devote time and energy to their community in a meaningful way, and serve as a role model for women. And what do we mean by young? We mean any individual that still feels young at heart. An ATHENA Young Professional is an individual that is still in the prime of their career, and who is on a professional trajectory to join the ranks of the ATHENA Leadership Award recipients.
