If you read this and you are a Women….RSVP to [email protected] to be included in all the Women In Leadership Correspondence, Zooms, Virtual Trainings, Mentorship, Onsite events and much more!! If you are not a women…PLEASE FORWARD this along to EVERY FEMALE CO-WORKER so we can get her connected and growing in our Network!
Southern Wholesalers Association’s board is excited to continue to support women in our industry by organizing the SWA Women in Leadership Council. This group is a compliment to other memberships and groups in our industry. I am proud to be taking part in it and already we have a great group of women involved.
First and foremost we want to work diligently to include all women in every aspect of our industry. We aim to provide opportunities that will reach you in your office or work environment through virtual meetings, trainings and best practices discussions that will benefit us all!
For those attending the 2023 annual SWA Convention in Sandestin June 25-27, 2023, I would like to invite you to take part in the SWA Women in Leadership meeting Sunday, June 25th at 8:30am. We will introduce our mission, discuss the next goals of the group and host our first guest speaker! Speaker Lt. Colonel “Moose” Moore of The Vigilance Group, LLC, will conduct a 60 minute, interactive seminar on Vigilance and Personal Safety! He will cover Detail on various assaults, vigilance, awareness, avoidance, physiological effects of fear and Actions! Do not miss this opportunity!
In addition to the above, we will also be hosting an event for the younger attendees while in Sandestin. We will invite young ladies, twelve years and up, to a fun, yet informative workshop/event. This event will be interactive and will give us an opportunity to better educate and involve the younger generation in understanding what we do, the benefits of being in our industry, and the wide range of career paths available to them as they start their high school, entry into the workforce and the trades, or college years. More details to follow on this as it is something we have not offered to the younger generation in years prior. We are still working on all the details but would love your insights and ideas.
If you are interested in joining us at SWA in Florida, joining us for quarterly virtual meetings, and helping with any part of the Women in Leadership, please reach out to Terry, Linda or myself. We would enjoy having you involved in this group.
Best regards,
Melissa Coolidge VP of Plumbing/PVF Midland Industries
