What Women Say
Ladies! I highly encourage, recommend, speak highly of, just sign up and just be part of NIA already! It was one of the BEST organizations I’ve been a part of in CDA. You’ll leave feeling strong, inspired, and loved by the women who will surround you. Marilee Wallace is simply the BEST!!
Anita Capriglione Parisot
As a past Chamber of Commerce President and current executive at Hertiage Health, I have been sending some of our “upcoming leaders” to NIA’s programs. They have raved about the aha moments, the knowledge, the comradery, and the networking of course. I love exposing young leaders to women of wisdom, local history and rags to riches stories. Women (and men) who overcome great loss, huge obstacles, financial disasters and lack of higher education opportunities are truly an inspiration to others. We all have a story…..
Pam Houser
I highly recommend the Women of Impact Leadership experience. The speakers have all been amazing and it is wonderful to meet and share with other women within the area. You will learn of new businesses, the “inner workings” of others along with some shared personal growth and experiences. A once a month meeting that is well worth it (with good morning coffee and treats!). Be sure to get signed up for next year, you will be glad you did.
