[UWAB] Aspiration Awards
by Jennifer Whitlow 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi girls! I noticed several of you have RSVP'd for the Aspiration Awards. If you are bringing guests (which is great!), please message me their name and info. We are trying to compile a list of all GT and corporate reps, as well as any other VIPs. Just because I know many of the guys in the orgs room participate in all Women@CC events, I'm going to throw this out there...Due to the nature of the event, it is not appropriate to bring all the guys from the orgs room, so please respect that. This is a very high level and important event. We do not want any distractions taken away from these award winners or the importance of this event. Thanks!
