ABWA - Leading Women Express Network

10/29/2026

It's time to RSVP for the November's Leading Women Express Network of the American Business Women's Association's lunch and presentation!!

WHAT'S AFFECTING YOUR PEACE?

How we feel on the inside often shapes how we show up on the outside!

Join the American Business Women’s Association – Leading Women Express Network (LWEN) for our November Professional Development Luncheon featuring Bobby R. Kazmir, Founder of GraceWorks Collaborative!

What's Affecting Your Peace? Shaping How You Show Up

Life gets busy, responsibilities pile up, and sometimes we don't realize just how much our internal pressures affect our focus, relationships, communication, and performance.

With more than 30 years of leadership experience, Bobby will guide us through the Peace Index, helping us explore five key areas of life, gain greater self-awareness, and discover practical ways to respond with more intention, clarity, and confidence.

Because when we understand what's happening within us, we can make an even greater impact on the world around us!

Learning, laughter and so much to celebrate! 💜✨

The American Business Women’s Association National Women’s Leadership Conference in Sugar Land, Texas, was amazing! From inspiring sessions to connecting with incredible women from across the country, we left with new ideas, stronger friendships and hearts full of gratitude. We’re so blessed to have shared this experience with our members who attended!

A special congratulations to:
🎓 Phyllis Deitz — KU Essentials graduate
🏆 Tina Duncan — District 2 Ambassador of Excellence Award recipient
🌟 Holly Pritchard — 2027 Top Ten Business Woman

And celebrating our network’s Best Practices Level 1 recognition made it even sweeter! 🎉

We’re bringing that excitement and inspiration home—and already looking forward to the next National Conference in Louisville, Kentucky! 💜

Excited to attend the 4th Quarter Houston Area Council meeting and dinner in Katy, Texas! 💙

We were especially looking forward to hearing Holly and Laura share highlights from the National Women’s Leadership Conference. As HAC’s scholarship recipients, they experienced an incredible opportunity to learn, connect, and grow!

Thank you to the Houston Area Council for investing in our members through scholarships and for all you do to support the leagues in our area.

Congratulations to Nicole Travis, our new District II Vice President, and Kristena Hackett, our new National Secretary-Treasurer! 🎉

A special thank-you to the HAC officers and chairs for an exceptional year of leadership, service, and dedication. And thank you to the best delegate ever, Keisha Bowie … we truly appreciate your commitment to the council and our league! Here’s to building on that momentum and continuing to do great things together!
