Local Charter Chapter – Founded 1984
During the last 25 years, the members of Success Charter Chapter have grown personally and professionally and introduced new members to the association. Through their efforts, numerous students have benefitted from the local scholarships (given prior to 1995) and the SBMEF (Stephen Bufton Memorial Education Fund) grants and scholarships. Members have also received member education funds to assist in continuing education training and business skills programs offered by accredited organizations.
Over 26 boards have served and 26 terms of Chapter Women of the Year, 13 years of Top Ten Nominations, thousands of dollars in fundraising projects created, completed and celebrated. The focus has changed as the membership interests and availability evolve. For a number of years, Success managed the People’s Fair project for the ticket booths and members built their organizing, managing and planning skills.
For 2006, the direction changed as members wanted a project that supported our business and professional growth while increasing awareness of ABWA in the Denver metro area. We created an event that was highly promoted and featured 4 speakers highly recognized for their presentations and books. CONQUER! Life’s Curves was a day filled with learning, shopping, and fun. It was exciting to have a small team create a day that proved we could produce a quality program and have as many guests as members attend.
For 2007, Success joined with Top of the Rockies to create a smaller, more intimate CONQUER! Life’s Curves 2 that would focus on local members and share their life lessons in SHARE THE POWER!
