President's Message

From Bonnie Vande Velde

Greetings! 

This is my final message to you as the President of WBO.  It has been as year!  I hope that I have served you with respect, dignity, and integrity, as that was and always will be my goal.  I hope that the change initiated this past year will continue and help to keep WBO alive and well.  This organization is at a turning point.  It will have to continue to evolve or cease to exist.  I truly hope it evolves!  There is a new generation of women business owners who are focused on growing in social media, on shared videos and so many ways that will utilize technology and WBO must keep up!  We have had amazing retreats, learning opportunities, networking, and friendship opportunities in the last year!  Use that content to grow your own business and then share with others to help them grow theirs!  If we spread good, good will return to us!  I sincerely hope the incoming board has abundant success with continuing the efforts that have been started even before this year. 

Be blessed beyond your wildest imagination with business that prospers and grows you!

Bonnie
