It was a big year and we made a Positively Powerful difference together. We celebrated the 10th Annual Awards at the Desert Botanical Garden where we spotlighted women business leaders Nona Lee, Arizona Diamondbacks, Lisa Loo, Arizona State University, Rhonda Peter-James, Intel and Jackie Wszalek, Splash Printing and Marketing.

Then in collaboration with ASU-CSRD and Fresh Start Women’s Foundation, Ilana Lowery, editor-in-chief of the Phoenix Business Journal and I co-facilitated the Global Woman’s World Cafe. In the US, we designed and implemented the 3-Day Women’s Empowerment Workshop with ASU-CSRD; and in Mayalsia, with Milestone Training. Desert Botanical Garden was the site for the Positively Powerful Sponsorship Appreciation “Our Sponsors are Stars” Breakfast.
