The Hand of Friendship Program
Recruiting new members has always been an important aspect of maintaining the growth and sustainability of the American Business Women’s Association. ABWA’s recognition program called “The Hand of Friendship” was introduced in the early 1950’s. The purpose of the program is to recognize ABWA’s unsung heroines, those members who demonstrated “their active desire to see the American Business Women’s Association grow.” Today, there are nine levels of the Inner Circle, each level represented by a different jewel. Many of our Lakeland ABWA members have earned jewels through this program!
Meetings
General Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at the Hilton Garden Inn (At Lakeland Linder Regional Airport) 3839 Don Emerson Drive Lakeland, FL 33811, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
