Induction of the 2009-2010 Executive Board
President's Theme: Connecting for Success - Building Real Relationships to Build Real Businesses!
Keynote Presentation by Madelon Miles, President, Milestones, Inc.
Competing demands in business and home exceed anything earlier generations of women faced. How do we stay simultaneously grounded, while spearheading consistent efforts to build new business, service and keep clients, and lead staff members to excellence?
Madelon will share some insights on how she maneuvered her business and working with clients like HBO, NBC/Universal Studios, The J. Paul Getty Trust, Gateway, DreamWorks, Toyota, E! Entertainment, City National Bank, Idealab, and more resulting in a positive impact over the last 25 years. She will also provide perspectives on how we can navigate real-life situations like aging parents, juggling schedules, children, spouses and building conscious businesses. Madelon has had a profound spiritual journey that will help us learn to apply theory to practical ways to manage everyday interactions with others and stay grounded.
You'll learn more, too, about the vision that our incoming President, Karen Gifford, has for NAWBO-OC as we progress to a new year. Join us on this special evening and connect for your own success while building relationships to help others with theirs.
RESERVATIONS WILL BE CLOSED AT 10AM ON July 6th . . .RSVP TODAY!

THE NEWS
Judy Leonard was featured in a front page article in the May 23 business section of the O.C. Register. Columnist Jan Norman reported how Judy (and husband Dan) bought a franchise of UNITS Mobile Storage after Dan decided to leave the banking industry.

Mirna Bard's NuReach Global, Inc. was honored to be among the top ten SEO/Social Media training and consulting companies for June 2009.
