From Alexia Martin Comber-
“Eleven years ago, I said “yes” to an opportunity that would positively impact both my personal and professional life in ways I never imagined. That opportunity was becoming a member of the ABWA Punta Gorda Charter Chapter.

What began as attending meetings and networking with local businesswomen has become one of the most meaningful journeys of my life. Along the way, I have not only grown professionally, but I have also built heartfelt relationships with incredible women who have celebrated my successes, encouraged me through challenges, and inspired me to become the best version of myself.

Through ABWA, I have developed leadership skills, strengthened my communication and public speaking abilities, gained confidence, expanded my business knowledge, learned how to mentor and support others, and embraced opportunities that pushed me far beyond my comfort zone. Each experience has helped me grow in ways I never expected.

Over the past 11 years, I've learned that success is built on relationships. The connections I've made through ABWA have provided mentorship, encouragement, collaboration, friendship, and opportunities that have enriched my life far beyond business.

Today, I encourage any woman looking for growth, connection, and community to explore what ABWA has to offer.

ABWA is so much more than a professional organization. It is:

✨ Leadership development✨ Professional growth and continuing education✨ Networking and increased visibility✨ Mentorship and support✨ Meaningful relationships and lifelong friendships✨ A community of women committed to helping each other succeed

The relationships I've built through ABWA are among the greatest blessings of my journey, and I am grateful for every opportunity, friendship, and lesson these past 11 years have provided.

If you'd like to learn more about ABWA membership and how you can Activate Your Ambition, feel free to message me or visit ABWA.org.”

The American Business Women’s Association helps women grow personally & professionally via leadership, education, networking support & national recognition.
