Confident Women Conference A Huge Success!

Our second quarterly Confident Women Conference was a huge success! The Citrus Club room was filled with over 170 positive, proactive and professional women (and a few men) ready to take on the challenges of the year! We were honored with the presence of Chief Val Demings, as we unveiled the new and improved Confident Women Magazine, bearing her picture on the front cover. Chief Demings message to the attendees was consistent with WOAMTEC’s philosophy; those who dream big, have confidence in themselves and keep their priorities in line with Faith, Family and Career will reach their goals and more importantly make an impact on others in the community.

As always, we had several dynamic speakers ground the conference with messages supporting women in business. Barbara Coenson, from KM Jackson Law Firm educated us on the law and your business, Jamie Yasko-Magnum of Successful-Style Image gave us insight on how look ,speak and behave in today’s business environment and Leah Turner and Jennifer Lee from Creating Your Masterpiece taught us the empowerment of word “No”.

There were several vendor tables there, so the attendees were able to shop and learn about various services offered through our WOAMTEC members, from accounting services, jewelry, photo albums and yummy chocolate treats!

Based on the feedback from the attendees, everyone is looking forward to the next conference…bigger and better every time! WOAMTEC Founder, Kathleen Hawkins was pleased to present Heathrow Chapter Director, Jennifer Shoemaker, with a Custom designed Fabulous 50’s lapel pin for exceeding 50 Chapter members in the previous quarter. Kathleen stated, ” I am simply thrilled with the quality of the 300 plus members currently associated with WOAMTEC. It is a blessing and a joy to see the dynamics of such great women. In today’s economy and market place, it is vital to have other great alliances to lean on. When I looked to my left and to my right at the Conference, I was proud to be surrounded by women of such strength and admiration.”
