WNA Holiday Awards Dinner at the San Jose Hilton!
I am a member of an incredible and inspiring women's group called the Women's Networking Alliance (WNA) It was founded by Debbie Quintana about 4 years ago, in her living room with a group of women business owners looking for camaraderie. Now the WNA is going national with 12 chapters already started and being formed. For more information go to the WNA website.
On Thursday , December 3rd, the Women's Netowrking Alliance founding chapter had their annual awards dinner at the San Jose Hilton. I jumped at the opportunity to coordinate this event so that my fellow WNA members could enjoy a beautiful and relaxing evening.
Here are some photos of the ladies and some of the details that I had fun dreaming up!
Thanks so much to all the professionals that helped me put all of this together to create a fab event :)
