Join the American Business Women's Association (ABWA) SWFL Council for a special luncheon celebrating American Business Women's Day on Saturday, September 20, 2025!
In honor of the day proclaimed by President Reagan in the 1980s, we will celebrate the achievements of women in business and provide an opportunity for professional development and networking.
This year, we are proud to feature two dynamic speakers who will help you enhance your professional image and communication skills:
Gale West, Speech Coach & Distinguished Toastmaster: Learn to craft informative and engaging speeches that captivate your audience. Gale will provide tools and strategies to overcome public speaking fears, use storytelling effectively, and enhance your communication skills in all aspects of your life.
Debie Grass, Professional Image Consultant: In her presentation, "Image Impact: The power of personal style to influence, inspire and align," Debie will share her expertise on how your personal style can be a powerful tool. Learn how to take control of your image to feel confident and empowered, ensuring your professional presence truly matters.
Additionally, we will be honoring two outstanding members of our community with the prestigious SWFL Woman of the Year and SWFL Lifetime Achievement awards.
Come celebrate, learn, and be inspired by the remarkable women of SWFL.
