PIONEER AWARD

Stephanie Calahan 

A pioneer is someone within the chapter who has a spirit to go where she has never gone before using experience, creativity, and inspiration to overcome whatever is thrown her way.  This member and I discussed soon after last year’s annual meeting about how she could become involved.  She was ready to get some things organized in the chapter and organize she did.  She started on the Special Events committee as a co-chair and she was instrumental in organizing the NAWBO July meeting which was the summer party.  When the Awards and Recognition committee needed a new chairperson, she stepped away as co-chair and immediately took on the task at hand. 

She helped orchestrate the registration process for the NAWBO Public Policy Days held in Springfield of this year.  She worked very hard and truly supports the mission of NAWBO, traveling a 70 mile round trip pathway to get to the monthly meetings.  I am proud to present the pioneer award to Stephanie Calahan, owner of Calahan Solutions, Inc.
