The National Association of Professional Women (NAPW) is a dynamic, empowering, and enriching organization focused on women's empowerment, facilitating business relationships, providing a forum for discussions, and a community for female business professionals and thought leaders. Voted amongst Forbes Top 100 Websites for Women, NAPW is leaving a footprint on a local and national level. I am honored to have joined the Board as the NYC Chapter Chair of Strategic Relationships as of 2017. Furthermore, I was inducted into the VIP Woman of the Year Circle, alongside prestigious and reputable women in the industry. • It is this sense of unity that is beyond powerful in a fiercely competitive industry where there is a need for partnership and mutual collaboration to drive business success. I want to take a moment to thank Louise Newsome for her admirable leadership, along with the Board of Directors who have each contributed to the organization's growth and local impact.
