Everyone's favorite time to catch up with fellow WIM members! Thanks to Helping Hands Massage Therapy and Midwest Financial for providing the Relaxation Station. It was a hit!
Awards Dinner and Keynote Speaker
Miss Illinois 2007, Ashley Hatfield
Presentation of the Chapter Achievement recognitions, the National Membership Awards and the National Charlotte Danstrom Awards was the capstone of the event.
Ashley Hatfield, Miss Illinois 2007, delivered a keynote address that was inspiring and entertaining. She candidly shared what motivated her to compete for scholarships within the Miss America Scholarship system, her passion for winning and the lessons she learned throughout her experience. Ashley was gracious enough to spend her own birthday with Women in Management. Below she is pictured with the representative from Midwest Bank, the 2008 Conference Marquee Sponsor.
