The March meeting of Professional Women of Statesboro met on Wednesday, March 21, at the Holiday Inn.
During this month’s meeting, we welcomed two new members, Lacey Bishop (OneMain Financial) and Michelle Lank (owner, Kid’s World Learning Center). Meagan Johnson, president, introduced the member spotlight. This month’s member spotlight was Christina Young, CPA, Dabbs, Hickman, Hill and Cannon, LLP. Christina discussed all of the services offered by DHHC and explained her role as a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE).
Our scheduled programming topic was Sex and the Modern Workplace: What You Do Not Know Can Hurt You. Mandy Edwards, program chair, introduced Stephanie Sipe, J.D., professor of legal studies at Georgia Southern.
