“A fellow consultant suggested WIC as a great place to network, meet other women consultants, and learn best practices. Networking isn’t something that comes easily to me, but from my first WIC meeting in 2001, I felt welcomed—and I’ve been coming ever since. A welcoming atmosphere isn’t the only thing WIC has given me—not by far.”
Avery Horzewski, AVEConsulting WIC Past President, 2010–2011
