August 2026 News - Pivots, Networking, & What's Next
We met on August 11 for our monthly meeting. The meeting welcomed members with introductions and an icebreaker: "If you could make one powerful pivot in your business or personal life this year, what would it be?"
Thank you to Shirley New with New Accounting in Middletown for being our August meal sponsor.
The meeting included new league year business - installation of the 2026-2027 Executive Board and review of the Proud Code of Conduct. Attendees then participated in Powerful Pivots - a roundtable talk about times when pivots were needed to both personal and professional life. A game with prizes ended the meeting.
Looking ahead, members are encouraged to register for upcoming ABWA webinars, attend the Cardinal Crossroads Council Summer Sizzler in August, and make plans for the National Women's Leadership Conference this fall.
Women of Magnitude meetings will now be held at the Neoti Tech Center across from Parkview Field.
