| PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DAY ATTENDEE As far as feedback, I can’t say enough about how much I enjoyed the interactiveness that the group had! I loved hearing from other women as the presentations related to them. I felt that it made for easy interactions during the breaks because we could easily find something to communicate about! I thought that all of the speakers had great content and a great message. Everything was very comfortable and you created an environment where everyone felt safe to share their own insights! You have a gift for bringing great women together! | WIN-WASHINGTON MEMBER What a nice story about WIN in the Almanac and also the Observer-Reporter by Harry Funk.
