Leaders Conference Introduces National, Chapter Officers
Meeting chapter presidents face-to-face has no substitute. When so many of them are in the same room with the national officers, it's obvious the strength of WID is in the dynamic women who make up the leadership. The day-long Leaders Conference was held Oct. 18 at the Renaissance Mayflower Hotel, Washington, D.C.
