In July and August, I am thankful that I have air conditioning. Something we may take for granted until the heat wave of summer comes rushing in weeks early.

Greetings EWI of Richmond
We have so much to celebrate! Let's begin to celebrate as a Nation.

Happy New Year! 2010
A new year! Fresh starts... I love fresh starts. A new calendar, a new journal, and a new beginning. 2009 was a challenging year, personally and professionally, for so many in our EWI of Richmond Chapter. The blessing is that you are not alone. We can call a fellow representative and get networking ideas, call for suggestions on vendors and services, use the services of our member firms, team up for an hour at the Boys & Girls Club, or just meet for lunch or dinner; the list goes on and on. What is it that you wish for a "Fresh Start" this year?

01 December 2009 |
Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday to EWI of Richmond!
This chapter year is starting off with a bang! Endless Opportunities - VISION was the them of our November Membership Meeting. We discussed the Vision statement for EWI. "To be a professional organization that creates value for its firms and their representatives through career development, business connectivity, and involvement in local communities." I challenged all to think big, think out of the box! Joel Barker said, "Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simply passing the time. Action with Vision is making a positive difference."
