Please feel free to contact these women with any questions you may have pertaining to their area of expertise. If there is more than one professional listed in an area, by all means contact each of them. We all have something unique to contribute and may offer a different perspective or piece of information that may provide just the answer or guidance you need.
WBO was founded on the principle that YOU are the heart of your business… and that we need one another on this journey. None of us alone have all the answers, but when we pull together and share what we have learned, we create an incredible resource for each other. Adding the Panel of Experts is one more step we take in the development of WBO to extend more support to our membership.
Every reasonable effort has been made to select honorable and knowledgeable individuals for the panel of experts, but it is the responsibility of the individual making the inquiry to ensure that the information is applicable to their situation. There are no guarantees of success in business, results are dependent on individual effort and circumstances, societal, political, and situational influences which we have no control over. Use this resource at your own risk.
