September 8 Luncheon RECAP
"Beyond 'the Box': Cultivating Creativity"
by Co-Director of marketing Katrina McBride
The NAWBO D/FW September
luncheon was an action packed event for the 65 members and guests who gathered
for the Dallas/Ft. Worth chapter of the National Association of Women Business
Owners’ monthly luncheon at CityPlace near downtown Dallas.
President Wendy Lopez opened the meeting by
welcoming visitors and new members and made several announcements beginning
with a reminder of the brunch being hosted September 13 by past NAWBO D/FW
presidents at the home of NAWBO D/FW member Lucy Billingsley in support of the Chiapas Project, a micro lending
program for women who are starting small businesses in Chiapas, Mexico. Other announcements included the Fine Wines
& Masterminds wine tasting event scheduled for September 22 at Tony’s on
Oak Lawn and "The Power of PR in Growing Your Business"
by Mary Schnack followed by a
reception at Los Colinas Country Club for the NAWBO’s National President Elect
Beverly Inman-Ebel on October 21.
D’ Forman
brought the attendees up to date on the WBC/NAWBO D/FW Golf Tournament and
Silent Auction! Join us at Brookhaven Country Club on October 27. The final
announcement was to recap the tele-class program for Financing Your Small-to Mid-size Business offered at no charge by
corporate partner, The Principal Financial Group on September 10.
VP of Programs Joan Voeller introduced the second in
a series of business related programs. Lora Brandis and Laurie Moore of
rainmaker advertising presented “Beyond ‘the Box’: Cultivating Creativity”. The
lively and interactive program gave the attendees great information about
cultivating creativity in their personal and professional lives. To conclude
the presentation a lucky guest, Sharon Smith, was selected to be the focus of a
“rainstorming” exercise by the entire group.
Sharon left the session with pages of great ideas for starting her new
business. [Note: Sharon has since
become a NAWBO D/FW member!]

President Wendy Lopez ended the luncheon by
encouraging guests to take the opportunity to become NAWBO D/FW members. She
reminded all that the call for nominations for the Women’s Enterprise Top 50 Woman-Owned Businesses in Texas deadline
was September 12, 2003.
