🎓✨ A beautiful afternoon of celebration and inspiration! ✨🎓

At our July Scholarship and Awards Ceremony, we proudly presented the Crescent City Connections Express Network Impact Scholarships to two intelligent and inspiring young women: Casey Swanson and Mariah Duncan. We were honored to have their families join us for this special moment.

A heartfelt thank you to Microsoft and Christi Fielder for nine incredible years of supporting women’s education through their generous sponsorship of the Stephen Buftom Memorial Eduxation Fund. 💙

We were also inspired by State Representative Delisha Brown, who reminded us that to make a true impact, we must first take care of ourselves—and always find ways to serve our community. 💬✨

And congratulations to our very own Brittany Edwards for receiving the Protégé Award! Thank you, Brittany, for your dedication in coordinating our monthly luncheons at Fleming’s.

Here’s to strong women, supportive communities, and a bright future ahead! 💪🌟

🌟 What an incredible conference with New Orleans Chamber of Commerce 🌟
ABWA CCCEN had the pleasure to participate as a breakout sponsor.

We had the honor of learning from Angela, a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, Speaker, Corporate Trainer, and Facilitator, who’s also a DISC Certified Behavioral Consultant.

Her passion for lifting others up and helping them grow truly shined through. Angela shared how someone once gave her a chance before she had the “credentials,” and now she’s committed to doing the same for others. Her message? If you're open, willing, and determined, you can achieve anything!

💬 Our women walked away inspired, empowered, and equipped with a practical framework to lead real-time conversations that drive action, boost engagement, and elevate performance. The energy in the room was incredible—laughter, lightbulb moments, and real connection filled the space.

We're so grateful for Angela and the wisdom she shared with our group. Here's to continuing meaningful conversations that unlock potential and spark transformation! 💼✨
