TriviaNite: ABWA holds fundraiser

The Colony charter chapter of the American Business Women's Association is known for helping women in the community and having a little fun while doing it. This month, the ABWA is hosting an annual fundraiser that's par for the course - TriviaNite.

TriviaNite is scheduled from 7 to 10 p.m. March 23 at The Frisco Party Hall. Tickets are $20 per person through March 16; after March 16, the price increases to $25 per person. Food and soft drinks are included in the ticket price.

The upcoming TriviaNite will be the associations third and largest, said Valerie Bartley, publicity chair for the ABWA.

"Initially we held the event at a small venue but have been able to increase our venue size each year," she said. "We will play trivia based on various popular topics and we have a silent auction of various items that business owners donate. It is a great opportunity to network, have fun and play trivia."

Bartley said the event draws between 75 and 125 people, and the association has brought in more than $2,500 over the course of the evening.

"The money raised will help women advance their education and attend national ABWA leadership and regional conferences," she said.

The Colony charter chapter is looking for new members. Regularly scheduled meetings are held from 7-8:30 p.m. in Austin Ranch on the second Tuesday of the month. Each program includes a business-related topic and dinner.

ABWA's Mission

•  To bring together businesswomen of diverse occupations and to provide opportunities for them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership; education, networking support and national recognition.

•  Together: We believe our collective wisdom is the professional woman's greatest untapped resource. Everyone has a skill, ability or advice that will benefit the woman next to you. It's the ultimate networking circle.

•  Diversity: ABWA is all-inclusive. Here diversity is more than race, age, creed or color. It's blue-collar, white-collar, CEOs, MBAs and telecommuters who never leave their home office. Our members own their businesses, or aspire to become the next entrepreneurs.

•  Leadership: In addition to assuming leadership positions within local chapters and networks, members have the opportunity to run for national office, a seat on our National Board of Directors.

•  Education: Lots of groups claim they offer professional development, but that's a promise we honor. At District and National Conferences, ABWA is proud to partner with such renowned groups as the University of Kansas School of Business, FranklinCovey, and Rockhurst University.

•  National Recognition: By its very nature, recognition is loaded with positive reinforcement. It is an essential component of career development - whether the recognition is on the job or through your professional association. With such programs as Best Practices and the Top Ten Business Women of ABWA, members receive recognition on both the local and national level for personal and professional achievements.
