| Next meeting topic for Tuesday, October 14th at Noon: |
My Journey
Community Cancer Network has a vision: that all cancer patients and families in Mid-North Indiana have consistent and professional support during treatment and recovery. Support to ease the burden of care and concern, so patients can focus on rest, recovery, and their families. Information they can use to better plan their care and support. Supplies to reduce the financial and emotional struggle cancer often is.
Join us on Tuesday, October 14th at 12pm as Lori shares her Journey and how the support of a “network” can help.
Lunch and networking begins at 11:30am, meeting 12pm to 1pm.

It is my honor to write my first newsletter as your AWBO President for 2014-2015. First of all, I wish to thank Tammy Foley on behalf of all the AWBO members for her two years as our President. Your confidence in me, as well as the board, to become our next President was very humbling and I appreciate your guidance and support.
I want to share with you my vision for this next year. I became a woman business owner in 2011 after being in the industry for only three years. I worked 30 years in the medical industry prior to that. I took a leap of faith to turn a very well run side business into a fulltime business. I was taught so much in three years, but needed other women that could help me without feeling threatened.
I visited AWBO before the 2008 downfall and upon joining in 2013, I found that the numbers had gone down for many obvious reasons and some for not so obvious reasons. In the last couple of years, I have met a great group of very dedicated women who can answer my questions, calm my insecurities and laugh at our lives. It was our job as program committee members to bring more substance and awareness to who AWBO is and what we represent, to bring programs that related to the changing times and views of business/media, to provide time to network and to start building or to continue relationships. My goal is to continue to grow, educate, communicate and build relationships.
