"I keep reliving the moments" is how one woman described her mindset after attending the Women's EmPOWERment Summit held last Thursday, March 2, by the Chamber's Women's Leadership Council. I can relate as i continue to replay several head-turning moments that stood out for me. Like when the sound team dialed up "This Girl is On Fire," after Kaiser Permanente (KP) Vice President of Marketing, Charmaine Ward, introduced her boss saying this Alecia Keys anthem best describes her. Then it played...as opening keynote Pamela Shipley, KP Regional President, Georgia, stepped to the stage to resounding applause.
Pamela reinforced our theme - "Purpose. Release. Triumph." - made it authentically hers and gave us what we came for. "Find your purpose and align with it," she said. Many of the attendees had the opportunity to talk with her one-on-one as she lingered and engaged until her time ran out.
Thank you to our 2023 Keynote Sponsors Kaiser Permanente and Ameris Bank.
βLet's pause right here and state that the day ran so smoothly because the Women's Leadership Council (WLC) is a 'baaddd' group of women. When I say they owned this event, it's true. Serving in her first year as WLC chair and as a 2023 chamber board appointee, Shay Lynn Dixon, CEO of Scale Logistics, led and inspired the team to perform as a unit. There was inspiration in unity and leadership.
