Please join Women for Economic and Leadership Development (WELD) on November 9, 2011 for the 2012 Women You Should Know Calendar Reception.
Each year, WELD recognizes a diverse group of twelve women in the central Ohio community who have lived the WELD values by being high impact leaders within their organizations, supporting the leadership development of other women, giving time, talent and resources to their community, and supporting the growth of women-owned businesses.
“When WELD was created, the founding members frequently heard that ‘companies would have more women in top leadership if they could find them,’” said Carol Clark, Board President of WELD.
WELD has developed the “Women You Should Know” calendar since 2005 to encourage businesses to be more inclusive of women in top leadership levels in the workforce and to promote Columbus as a city rich in female talent. Women have the ability to bring the next phase of strategies to the workforce and to drive economic development within business.
“WELD views women in leadership as an economic issue fundamental to the overall prosperity of our community,” said Barb Smoot, Executive Director of WELD. In the past, the same women in leadership roles were continuously being overextended. With this event, WELD strives to create awareness of the talent located in central Ohio.
The calendar reception is made possible because of the generous support of State Auto Insurance Companies, the event sponsor. “When offered the opportunity to host the reception, we were excited to accept. State Auto has a long record of supporting the leadership development of women and sponsoring this event provided us another great opportunity to do so,” stated Bob Restrepo, Jr., President, Chairman and CEO of State Auto Insurance Companies.
“These women focus primarily on others on a day-to-day basis. We expressed our appreciation of these honorees for their constant hard work and leadership for others by pampering them for the day in preparation for their photo shoots,” said Debra Penzone, president of The Charles Penzone Salons.
The Event will take place on November 9 th at State Auto Insurance Companies, 518 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. For more information and a list of the 2012 Honorees, please visit: http://www.weldoh.org/

This is poignant and still just as blunt as it needs to be. The crreunt MCRC “leadership” is behaving in a blatantly desperate manner. They’re gravely wounded; pleading with the people they answer to that they will promise to be good, while simultaneously gnashing their teeth erratically in every direction. As a committee member, I can easily say that I have had more communication from MCRC in the past two weeks than I have had during the entire time that these folks have been running the show. They can promise to develop and implement plans of action, but the damage has already been done. They should have been doing this yesterday. The lofty emails are laughable, too. These demands that we work together are totally disingenuous as they are written by someone who spent most of his political efforts in Montgomery County causing and perpetuating intra-party rifts. As the author said, all of this activity is just self-preservation tactics. It’s so obvious that it’s uncomfortable to those of us veteran politicos. They’ve had their chance. It didn’t work out, so now it’s time for new leadership.
