2012 Summer Luncheon Message from Michelle I wanted to take a moment to personally thank each and every one of you for being a part of Women In The Spotlight GoinGlobal (WITSGG). Without you, we would not have been able to have such a groundbreaking year of successes! This past year, WITSGG grew from 210 to over 1000 members. Putting women in touch with other women they may have never had the opportunity to meet, influence, network with, or become friends. Each and every one of you is critical to this organizations success. Without you, there would be no mixers, no vendor showcases, and no opportunity to network with likeminded professionals I want to encourage each and every one of you to reach out to your fellow members of WITSGG and get to know the amazing women who make up the group. You never know when someone can open a new door for you! Remember, if you re not thriving, you re surviving. I want each and every one of you to continue to thrive in this amazing group. Please, continue to provide your insights and ideas, and invite others to become a part of us! From the bottom of my heart, I am so proud and blessed to be a part of such and amazing group of women! 4 WomenInTheSpotlightGoinglobal.com
