Article Abstract:
Businesswoman Mary McIntire joined the Commonwealth Blue Chapter of the ABWA in Richmond, Virginia in 1992 as the organization's chapter publicist. Her position, which entailed writing press releases in the local newspaper and cable television, was an indispensable learning experience which also broadened the chapter's membership base. McIntire credits the ABWA with teaching her the necessary skills to increase her self confidence and the chance to broaden her sphere of activities to include programs such as the Continuing Education Credit and the Membership Training and Development Certification project.

Following your passion
Article Abstract:
Experts believe that most individuals do not accomplish their real goals due to a false sense of security in their current jobs and non-utilization of their natural talents or inclinations. Businesswoman and ABWA North Dallas Chapter member Jana High believes she was able to accomplish what she has by following her passions and taking the necessary risks to make them work for her. High, who is also manager of her own paralegal firm and a motivational speaker, asserts that risks should be taken to succeed in one's chosen career.
