WOW, did you have a moment last month with Cory Vanderburgof Huntington Bank when he spoke about how to put yourself/business into a better position when working with borrowed money? What an a-ha moment which affects us personally along with risk to our business. Thank you Cory for making us aware of how credit card debit can be damaging to our business.
It's also a sad time as we mourn the unexpected loss of Brenda Combs, owner of Moondance Marketing (see below). It's a reminder to us all that life is precious and we must be sure we're living a complete and full life beyond work and business.
That's why our AWBO Board is passionate about creating and building relationships as women in the business community. I hope you'll take the time to join us at the Summer Social this month. Bring a guest, socialize, find that creativity spark and enjoy the night.
I look forward to seeing you there,
Tammy Foley
AWBO President

Board Member Profile: Tamara Cox
.jpg) Meet Tamara Cox - AWBO programs chair for scheduling 3-minute spotlights. Tamara owns KidzArt of West Central Indiana which is a local art franchise committed to increasing self-confidence and problem-solving skills for “kids” of all ages (including adults). She has 2 sons that were involved in KidzArt classes at their local elementary school and she saw them become more & more confident in themselves because they were learning a new skill. When the previous owner moved out of state, Tamara saw an opportunity to bring this program to many more students and families so she purchased the business in January 2009. Tamara graduated from Purdue with a Management and Finance Degree in 1991 before moving from Indianapolis to Benton County in 1997 to marry and raise a family. Her two sons are ages 13 & 11 and her oldest son, Mitchell, just won the “Artist of the Year” award at his school. Tamara is the Treasurer at her local church, is on the Benton County Relay for Life Committee, is Past President of the school PTO, and enjoys time outside with her family. Tamara's KidzArt business will be teaching at our AWBO summer social in June!
