Passion, Authenticity, Self-Care, Creativity, Networking, Leadership... all the concepts that bubbled up for me at this year’s Symposium. What a fantastic day that represents our purpose so well- powerful, strong, talented women who have chosen to come together to empower each other, promote professionalism, and develop leadership. Thank you to Sarah Brewer, Lauren Olson, and all of our IWIL members who volunteered their time preparing for and putting on this year’s Symposium. 

And I am so grateful YOU have chosen to be a part of IWIL and hope that IWIL is a place where you feel supported and encouraged. If you ever have questions or want to learn more, please reach out to me or my co-president, Sarah Goleman.

Our calendars may be full but having women in your corner matters. So, I hope you’ll join us sometime in October:
-October 15, 11:30 AM-1 PM: monthly luncheon at Illini Country Club ($28 for members rsvp’d by October 9)
-October 29, 5:30-7 PM: Community Health Giving Circle grant reception at Island Bay Yacht Club ($25 per person by October 23)

May your October be full of pumpkin spice or candy corn or whatever makes you smile.

Jen DeJong, Co-President IWIL
