WOAMTEC (Women on a Mission to Earn Commission to Earn Commission) Conference a Success

Longwood, FL, May 01, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Hundreds of women gathered yesterday at Highland Manor in Apopka for WOAMTEC’s third empowering women seminar – WOAMTEC filled the venue to capacity. “We are pushing you out of your comfort zone,” WOAMTEC Founder and President, Kathleen Hawkins said to attendees after three professional, accomplished speakers provided inspirational and relevant information designed to boost confidence, professional expertise and positive attitudes –all necessary to remain successful in today’s challenging economy.

The speakers provided the crowd with necessary information about keeping positive during the current recession, sales tips that generate increased profits and publicity tips for businesswomen. Conference goers left inspired by WOAMTEC and the speakers. Sylvette Whittmer, Dr. Phillips WOAMTEC member and owner of Cakes By Design said, “All three speakers made me realize things I need to incorporate into my business.” WOAMTEC also provided a table for Whittmer to showcase her personal charitable outreach, SSB (Sole Sisters and Brothers) Breast Cancer Awareness Fund. “WOAMTEC has supported our cause quite a lot,” she said. “Members have given us ideas on how to raise money for our walks and they have been great supporters of our events, both attending and sponsoring our efforts.”

WOAMTEC is part of my life, part of my family,” said Allison Kreiger, Downtown Orlando WOAMTEC director and founder of non-profit Helping Other People Eat, Inc. “Not a day goes by that I don’t email, speak to, or do business with a WOMATEC person. I am blessed to have them in my life. They [WOAMTEC members] have helped me reach my goals and focus on the next chapter in my life.”

“The conference was extremely inspiring,” said Ruth Stern, licensed mental health therapist and first time conference attendee. “The energy in the room and the connections between members were amazing. I have so many ideas for my business. I went home, called my friend, and said, ‘This is an amazing group of women.’”

Prizes were awarded during the conference to Lisa Beyer, Beyer Communications and SEO Copywriter, Gloria Rand who followed WOAMTEC’s WaHoo Atlanta Launch Challenge. Both ladies correctly answered the number of “WaHoo’s,” Creating Your Masterpiece Co-Founder and Life Coach, Jennifer Lee rang-out during Hawkins and Lee’s road trip to Atlanta to launch three new WOAMTEC chapters. Danielle Simms, Atlanta’s Buckhead WOMATEC director, also attended the conference.

Toni Curlin, Just Between Us Girls, received a special award at the conference for her commitment and dedication to the organization. Curlin started three WOAMTEC chapters – the newest in Apopka. “Now, I’m home,” she told the crowd. Celebration WOAMTEC members won the conference participation award. Seventy-eight percent of Celebration members were in attendance.

The speakers were Carol Borne, professional consultant, facilitator, trainer and coach, and president of Learning Connections, a workplace learning and performance enhancement company offered sales tips; Connie Fitsmartin, The Magical Mom, author and speaker provided an attitude check saying, “Remaining positive is a choice.” Charnel Wright, veteran broadcast journalist and founder of News You Can Use, LLC and Scared Safe NOW offered an inside view of the newsroom to help businesswomen create their own compelling business stories.

Hawkins wrapped up the conference. “Remember to stay focused on what matters most,” she said, and then she reminded attendees of the WOAMTEC mission of maintaining a healthy life balance of faith, family and career. “It doesn’t matter what industry you represent. Look at people and see them as individuals. I promise you, if you help others, it will come back to you. Make today matter, we never know if there will be a tomorrow.”

WOAMTEC has grown to 12 chapters and more than 400 members throughout Central Florida in little more than a year. This month, WOAMTEC embarked on a national journey as Atlanta launched its first three chapters. The Atlanta launch meeting in Buckhead was filled to capacity. New WOAMTEC chapters are set to launch in North Carolina, Tampa and South Florida soon.
