🌟 Women Leading by Example – April 🌟

Each month, we have the honor of recognizing a woman who leads with heart, strength, and a genuine love for others through our Women Leading by Example Award. 💜

For April, Mitzi McHenry passed the award to Donna Beaudoin — our President Elect who has truly been stepping into her role and absolutely rocking it! 👏

Donna is such a shining light in our league. The way she shows up for others — with encouragement, support, and positivity — does not go unnoticed. She pours into each of us individually and continues to help strengthen WGTEN as a whole.

We are so grateful for her leadership, her heart, and the joy she brings to every room she walks into. It’s no surprise how loved she is by so many!

Help us show Donna some love and congratulate her on being April’s Woman Leading by Example! 💐

✨ April General Meeting Recap ✨

We had another great night together at our April General Meeting, full of learning, connection, and meaningful conversations.

A big thank-you to Carole Arnold and Mitzi McHenry for their presentation on Your Membership and Apex Campus. They did a great job sharing how we can get the most out of our ABWA membership and continue growing both personally and professionally.

👏 We also celebrated a special moment as the Woman Leading by Example Award was passed from Mitzi McHenry to Donna Beaudoin. It’s always so encouraging to see the impact of leadership and service within our league.

There was also continued excitement as we talked about our upcoming Boots & Crowns fundraiser. We’re looking forward to coming together for this event and all that it will support.

It was another encouraging evening spent together — full of good conversation, shared ideas, and the kind of support that makes WGTEN so special. 💛

…and that’s a wrap… 🎉

Our WGTEN ladies spent the weekend tuned into the ABWA Virtual Spring Conference! A few of us kicked things off with a watch party Friday, then everyone jumped back in from home on Saturday to catch the rest.

We loved seeing all the selfies and little behind-the-scenes moments—definitely a fun way to stay connected while learning something new.

We can’t wait for our members to start sharing what they learned—so stay tuned, because there’s some good stuff coming your way!

So proud of this group for continuing to invest in themselves and our league. 💫
