July 2019

It may be the lazy days of summer, but there is nothing lazy about NAWIC. We may have just finished our two biggest events but we will continue to offer opportunities for you to get involved over the summer. We have some joint events, Summer Social, July interactive meeting, and more to add.

We confirmed our new board at the June meeting for the upcoming 2019-2020 year and they are already planning for next year. I know that they will ensure continued growth and enhancing ways in which we provide value to our members. We are one of the largest chapters in our region; it is not just about the numbers it is about our strength in numbers. We can do so much more with a strong and active membership.

I hope that you will take advantage of some of the opportunities to come hang out with your NAWIC sisters. There are so many ways for you to get involved, make some wonderful connections and have an impact on the industry and our community.

As I wind down my position as Chapter President and start my new journey as the South Atlantic Region Director, I want you all to know that I am here for you and will listen to your needs and suggestions. I want us to continue to Connect, Grow and Share with each other and to expand our reach for new opportunities with companies and organizations. We are strong and I know we can accomplish great things together.

I wish everyone a happy, healthy and safe summer.

C THINGS DIFFERENTLY A presentation by Christine Knable

Topic: Personal brand management – some practical tips to be active in yours.

Join us Tuesday, July 16, as we explore some easy ways to utilize the traits and characteristics that set us apart from others to tell our story, influence expectations and be conscious with that digital footprint.

Brief bio: Christine Knable is the President of C Things Differently, a woman-owned, Richmond based marketing group that focuses on brand management.

FIREWORK SAFETY As you celebrate our country this month, please keep these fireworks safety tips in mind!

1. Fireworks packaged in brown paper are made for professional displays – avoid buying.

2. Always have an adult supervise fireworks activities, especially with sparklers.

3. Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.

4. Never point or throw fireworks at another person.

5. Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy in case of fire and to douse used fireworks before discarding in trash.

6. Never allow young children to play or ignite fireworks.

7. Never carry fireworks in a pocket or shoot them off in metal or glass containers.

8. Never try to re-light or pickup fireworks that have not ignited fully.

9. Never place a part of your body directly over a firework device when lighting.

10. Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.

HEALTH & SAFETY

STAY SAFE THIS HOLIDAY!
