Women's Economic Development Council of Huntsville

This month's Leadership Development meeting wouldn't be the same without the support of Vicki W. Morris and V. Renee Consulting.

Thank you for helping us create a space where women can connect, learn, and grow together. Your commitment to local leadership is making an impact far beyond a single meeting.

We're so grateful to have you as part of the WEDC community!

Midyear is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and refocus.

Join us on this coming Thursday, June 11 at 11:30 AM at the Jackson Center for "The Power of the Pen: Capturing Who We Are & How We Lead".

This interactive Leadership Development Luncheon will help you assess where you are, reconnect with your goals, and create a meaningful path forward for the second half of the year.

Special guest Miriam Ezell will share how journaling can become a powerful tool for clarity, decision-making, and intentional leadership.

And yes... bring your journal and your January bingo card. It may finally be time to yell "BINGO!" (We'll have a few extra on hand if you need one.)

Guests are welcome. Register by tomorrow, June 8 at noon:

“I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I've never let it keep me from a single thing that I wanted to do.”
— Georgia O'Keeffe

Leadership isn't the absence of fear. More often, it's taking the next step while fear rides along beside you.

Don't wait for confidence to arrive first. Take the next step and let confidence catch up. What's one bold move you're making this week?

This weekend, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Monday is a day of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice and for the families who carry that loss every day.

From all of us at the WEDC, we remember and honor their service.

Help us cheer on WEDC member, Sonja Enfinger, as she continues representing Huntsville as a delegate to Ms. Senior Alabama, for 2026/2027. Through her involvement, Sonja is helping bring greater visibility and awareness to the Huntsville area across the state while serving as an advocate for her community.

Sonja is also competing for the “People’s Choice” award, and every vote supports an important cause. Proceeds from voting will benefit AL Out of the Darkness, American Foundation for Su***de Prevention.

Voting is open through June 5, see 🔗 below. Join us in supporting Sonja and wishing her the very best!

Congratulations to WEDC member, Kathi Tew, for being recognized as the recipient of Leadership Greater Huntsville's Community Impact Award, and induction into the inaugural Hall of Fame Class.
Kathi’s leadership, generosity, and lasting impact on our community make this honor incredibly well deserved. We’re proud to celebrate her and this meaningful recognition!

Tomorrow is Election Day, and we’re proud to see three WEDC members stepping forward to serve our community through leadership and civic engagement.

Best wishes to Connie Spears for State Board of Education, District 8, and Bree Wilbourn, candidate for Madison County Republican Executive Committee District 3, Place 2, as they appear on tomorrow’s Republican Primary ballot. And best wishes to Cindi Branham, candidate for State Democratic Executive Committee, District 20 on the Democratic Primary ballot.

The WEDC is always encouraged to see women using their voices, experience, and leadership to make an impact in our communities.
