Thank you PWA! I have been a member for 5 years now and have to say it is my favorite "out of office" business activity. As a small business owner I value referrals the most as a way to grow my business. When I decided to join PWA I thought I was making a savvy marketing decision that was going to create a resource for sales. I soon realized that while this is an ancillary perk of PWA it is not the true reason or reward of belonging. The self improvement/motivational activities and relationships I have built are what I value most. I have had the privilege of serving on committees as well as the Board - both enriching experiences! I look at other members as true friends and leave each lunch, each activity with a sense of camaraderie and rejuvenation. While I am amazed at the professionalism of the members and the resources they are for me, I value the ease of relationships and acceptance the most. I am looking forward to many more rewarding years!
