President's Message

Our world is so challenged... many businesses and individuals are experiencing peaks and valleys like never before. That's why it is important to stay positive and focus on the good in every situation. Change is constant, and it can impact our personal and professional lives at the same time. As a chapter, we too are going through change; but our commitment to serving the community is still as strong as it has ever been. Last year, to support the community for the holiday, we were able to make donations to The Food Bank, which garnered enough food to feed 900 or more people. As in the past, our scholarship support for women who are continuing their college education is still the top priority for our fundraising campaigns.

In 2012 and beyond, know that the 'secret' to make the most out of what life has to offer is embracing change and growth with a positive attitude. Connecting with people who are about making a difference and growing is key. I truly believe 'when you know better, you do better'. That's the beauty of Executive Women International. Our organization offers wonderful opportunities on local, regional and national levels through networking and development workshops. Make 2012 the year you connect with EWI, and invite a firm or friend to join you... don't miss out...

Thank you to the companies and members who continue to support the mission and vision of EWI.

Enjoy!,
Carolene Goodwyn-Harris
