“I have a deep love for AWMI. The organization’s four cornerstones (Grow, Educate, Mentor, Network) are important to me both personally and professionally. We should always be looking to mentor others, cheer on their successes, help coach them through their failures… push ourselves to take advantage of continued learning and enjoy the opportunity to network with our peers. I love planning and attending our annual conferences. It has been so rewarding to be a part of putting together strong conference programs for our members that focus on the four cornerstones.” said Ms. Malvick.
