Debbie S. Champion

If you’ve ever felt you needed to check your personality at the door to be taken seriously in your career – or if you just
want to start 2018 with a strong dose of energy and enthusiasm – you won’t want to miss PWA’s January speaker,
Debbie Champion.

One of the Business Journal’s Most Influential Business Women, Debbie is a founding partner in the law firm of
Rynearson, Suess, Schnurbusch and Champion. She has received more professional awards that we could ever list.
But for a sampling, she was named Outstanding Litigation Practitioner after she achieved one of the Missouri’s largest-ever
defense wins in 2011, followed by the greatest number of defense wins in each of the two years following.
Her extensive pro bono work has been honored by the Missouri Bar Assn and Legal Services of Eastern MO.

She still finds time for board positions with five different youth-related nonprofits. And she does all of that with a
hearty dose of humor, enthusiasm, old fashioned Southern charm and a belief that if she can do it, other women can
do it too. What a way to inspire your 2018!

Debbie will share how to:

• Identify your unique strengths
• Leverage those strengths to build your career
• Travel your own path to reach your target
