Join Us as We Celebrate American Business Women's Day!
One of the most historic events affecting the American Business Women's Association was the proclamation of Sept. 22 as American Business Women’s Day.
Enacted in 1983 by a joint resolution of Congress and the signature of then President Ronald Reagan, the proclamation recognized all working women.
More than 30 years later, ABW Day continues to be recognized as a celebration of achievements of business women, members, and the Association. Maintaining its 12-year tradition, ABWA's Reno Tahoe Express Network (RTEN) is celebrating ABW Day on Wednesday, September 21, 2016, with a fundraising luncheon at the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa. Proceeds help fund scholarships for women pursuing college educations and members attending professional development certificate programs offered through ABWA's National Leadership Conferences.
This year's keynote speaker is the dynamic Dr. Angie Taylor. Dr. Angie is President and CEO for Guardian Quest, Inc. and the Founder/CEO of ExcelQuest Community Development Corporation. She is also President of the Washoe County School District's Board of Trustees.
Dr. Angie's presentation - Girl, We Rock! As she explains, "Every day, women routinely accomplish tasks that make our organizations, families and communities better, but seldom do we take the time to notice. We add value to the lives of those around us at work, home and play often making personal sacrifices along the way. Yet, we are much more likely to doubt our value, our worth and ourselves. Listen as we discover how the unique greatness in us brings out greatness in the people and things around us."
Mistress of Ceremonies is the delightful Arianna Bennett, an anchor and reporter for KTVN Channel 2 News in Reno. Don’t miss this opportunity to network with other northern Nevada professionals, enjoy a delicious lunch and maybe win a gift basket or two. Don’t forget to bring your business cards – you can drop one into the fishbowl for your chance to win the grand prize!
