𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗖𝗼-𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀: For 11 years, Tina Johnson has spearheaded the Virginia Women’s Business Community. She has cultivated this conference into a thriving community of women in business. Tina, we are thankful and acknowledge you for your impactful service. Thank you for being a contribution to so many of us.
We are honored and humbled to take the torch from Tina and run with it. We have a BIG vision for an event that expands throughout the DMV, and with collaboration and momentum, together we all in turn will impact the world. We believe with all our might that women supporting other women in business leads to endless possibilities, and we hope to make our community proud.
At this time of transition, we know that change can be confusing. What you’ve known so well for 11 years is now something new. It’s shocking and emotional if you are a long-term member of this community. Without knowing what’s coming next, it’s easy to question, judge, and assume the worst… all of this is completely understandable and human nature.
Wherever you are with this transition, we honor you. We honor you for being a past supporter, attendee, speaker, and sponsor of the conference. We honor you for taking the time to come together as women to support each other. We honor you for investing your time and energy into this community. We honor the investment you have made so far, whether it’s been one year or eleven years. Your time is valuable. And yes, you deserve to know what’s going on.
You deserved to know about this transition well ahead of time. You deserved the respect of time to process the change before we even brought up ticket sales. You deserved updates and communication instead of radio silence. Our intention was not to leave you wondering. And for those of you reading this without a clue of what we’re talking about: The transition hasn’t been smooth. We regret this deeply and are sorry.
We’d like to start over. And we request your grace as we move through these growing pains together into something magical and significant. We’re doing something big: expanding the Virginia Women’s Business Conference into a gathering of women in business in our nation’s capital. Our vision is larger than life, and we can’t accomplish it alone. We’re inviting you to be a part of this exciting adventure and journey.
So here’s our promise to you: We promise to work hard for this community. We promise to never take for granted how valuable your time is. We promise that if you give us your trust, we will build and grow something incredible: a meeting space for authentic connections to grow into an UNSTOPPABLE movement.
YOU are the glue that holds this community together, and we sincerely want to get to know you. We want to get to know about your businesses. And we want to be able to curate connections in this community to serve you and support you as business leaders. We look forward to learning about you, and hearing your ideas for the future.
To this end, we invite you to get on a call with us. Email us at [email protected] to set up your call. We hope to talk to each and every one of you personally.
We are so excited for the amazing future ahead and strongly believe through friendships and businesses connections, anything is possible. With open arms and hearts, we welcome you to the Women’s Worth Community as inaugural members. We can’t thank you enough for being part of this movement as we celebrate Women’s Worth together!!
