March Mavericks

March is Women’s History Month! Our opportunity to recognize and honor the remarkable achievements of women. Our March Mavericks event last week was especially timely! Our event this year was larger than ever. And as I stood at the front of the room, welcoming everyone to the event, my heart was full. 

The event continues to grow, and the room was full of so many beautiful women (and men too!). The evemt was facilitated by the talented Alissa Daire Nelson, CEO of Daire 2 Succeed and we celebrated: Alexa Fitzpatrick, Founder and CEO of Jayded AF Cocktails; Kelly Sam, Assistant General Manager of Grand Casino Hinckley; and May yer Thao, President and CEO of Hmong American Partnership. 
 
As I listened to the three mavericks we celebrated this year, what struck me was how “ordinary” women do such extraordinary things. None of them would have put themselves up there; and yet each of us took something away from what they shared. I find a message for all of us in this – no matter your place or role, in your ordinary world, YOU can be remarkable. 

We also took a moment to honor our Celebrate Business Success Awardee, Tameka Jones, and her business, Lip Esteem. We will also recognize Hmong American Partnership as our Celebrate Service Awardee. 

You can see the energy in photos of the event! Take a look HERE and make sure to join us next year! 
 
See you in the trenches,
