Today was the DTC Luncheon with speaker Marie Belew Wheatley, CEO of American Humane Association. Founded in 1877, the American Humane Association is the only national organization dedicated to protecting both children and animals. A nonprofit membership organization, American Humane is headquartered in Denver.
Marie was such a great speaker! The first person in her family to go to college, Marie had to overcome so many obstacles to get to where she is today. She talked a lot about the importance of mentoring and being mentored. One of the key points she highlighted in her talk was about finding something you have a passion for and working in that field. She was so interesting and inspirational!

On Friday, I attended the Business After Hours hosted by the Denver Center for the Performing Arts at Baur’s Ristorante. We mingled, drank wine, had excellent appetizers, drew for door prizes and saw a performance of “Quilters” at the DCPA. It was such a great event!
Catch me later this week during the DTC Luncheon!

Yesterday, I attended the Downtown Lunch featuring guest speaker Judy Taylor. Judy is such an amazing speaker with such an interesting story. What really struck me about Judy was how many times she has reinvented herself; from teacher to sportscaster to journalist to magazine founder to consultant. She is so funny and has such an interesting background.
Catch me during my next adventure!
