Women's Leadership Retreat - August 24, 2019

Boulder Dam Credit Union recognizes the importance of women in leadership, the role of women in the household, and strives to support the amazing women in our community.

The Women’s Leadership Retreat is a community event for women of Boulder City to network with one another, learn business and financial management, engage in wellness and support charitable activities. 

The community and members of Boulder Dam Credit Union opened their hearts and hands for the Women’s Leadership Retreat in August of 2019 at the Forge Social House in beautiful Boulder City, Nevada. This event was made possible through the generous donations of time and volunteer spirit of our presenters, community leaders and team. Thank you to all that participated. 

“it was the best day with the best speakers”

“the credit union MUST do this again next year”

Favorite moments of the day included networking, making new friends, hearing from the incredible speakers, and making blankets for kids in need. Here are some of the highlights of the 2019 program: 

• The event included a financial management seminar covering savings and ensuring financial independence by Jim Petrizzo, CLU, ChFC of MEMBERS Financial Services located within Boulder Dam Credit Union. 
• There was also a very popular session on Emotional Intelligence. Sharing the differences between men and women and how we communicate, interact, and manage emotion with Brandi Stankovic, Ed.D. of CU Solutions Group/acting HR professional at Boulder Dam Credit Union.  
• We had some fun with an affirmation and creativity workshop with essential oils led by Karina Venturina of Healing Hands in Boulder City, NV.  
• Wellness is an important topic and we discussed how “sitting is the new smoking” and heart disease is something we all should be thinking about. Led by Danone Simpson, MBA, GBDS, Montage Insurance Solutions, Los Angeles, CA  
• We discussed Global Women’s Leadership Network and learn how women are supporting each other all over the world with Susan Mitchell of Mitchell, Stankovic & Associates and the Chair of the Global Women’s Leadership Network, World Council of Credit Unions.
• We made hand tied fleece blankets for the Children’s Miracle Network Hospital, St. Rose Siena. It was an amazing day!
   

The credit union donated 100% of the dollars collected for the event to the Worldwide Foundation as well as the blankets made during the session to benefit the kids of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, St. Rose Siena here in our backyard.
