What an inspiring day... I was a guest of Linda Wagner, Allstate Insurance to the Women's Power Luncheon put on by Kelly Buchanan of the Northwest Herald Business Journal. Inspiring women speakers included Senator Pamela Althoff, Dr. Rebecca L. Sherrick the President of Aurora University and Charie Zanck the Chief Executive Officer of American Community Bank & Trust to name a few and it truly was a well planned meeting. I think every quest in the room went away with a goal to look forward to and several new mentors to look up to. Great Job! Thank you again Linda for inviting me today.
