The American Independent Business Women’s (AIBW) meeting took place on Tuesday, May 21 at Restore Wellness Studio. The organization welcomed its 2024 scholarship recipients: Mia Waddle (Panora) and Reagan Carney (Guthrie Center).
During the meeting, three founding AIBW members (Mary Jane Carothers, JoAnn Alumbaugh and Luann Waldo) participated on a Q&A panel. Questions ranged from building relationships, having professional workplace experiences, and sharing advice to be successful.
The mission of the American Business Women’s Association is to bring together business women of diverse occupations and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support and national recognition.
