| President's Message As we begin to embark on the hectic hustle and bustle of the holiday season I always try to remind myself to try to slow down and actually appreciate times with friends and family. This is easier said than done, as busy professional women, we too often take on more than we can handle. My hope is that each of you, regardless of your traditions, make time for YOURSELF this season. Enjoy a glass of wine with friends, head off to the spa, or do whatever you need to decompress! I also want each of you to treat yourself to hearing our next speaker, Ginger Martin, President of American National Bank. For those of you who do not know Ginger, she is an absolute dynamo. She has been involved in Freedom Climbs, climbing to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, and others, to raise money and awareness for victims of human trafficking. For those who have not yet renewed their BWA membership, we miss you! We have many exciting and new things in store for you this year. You don't want to miss out. I hope to see those we have been missing in November. Holly Moody President 2016-2017
