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
