Member Testimonials:
“Since my arrival in Naples 5 years ago, I have found that ABWA is the most welcoming Women's organization I have been able to find. In addition, they are a Chapter of a National organization, which results in the fact that they are very buttoned up, which impressed me. I have been able to form some very warm friendships with people in this group.”
Ingrid B. Kaczmarek, RCC, RSP Trained Retirement Coach, FOCUS COACHING
“I have met new friends but it has helped to be on a committee. Going to both the board meetings and the chapter meetings have made me feel more confident. This past chapter meeting I had an easier time meeting some of the new members.”
Lynne Sapere, Stewart Title
“Membership in ABWA has given me leadership skills, business building information and lifelong friendships.”
Susan M Mehas 1995 Chapter President
