The 15th Annual Girls Night Out welcomed a large crowd to the Lannom Center on Thursday night, September 12. Hosted by the Southern Accent Chapter of the American Business Women's Association (ABWA), Girls Night Out provides local businesswomen with a platform in which to market their goods, while also raising money for a good cause, as all proceeds go toward providing scholarships for local graduating seniors.
This year’s event welcomed hundreds of guests and 41 vendors ranging from cosmetics and fashion to food, decor, health, and more.
Special thanks are extended to all the volunteers, sponsors, donors and community partners who made this year’s event a success.
ABWA members include: Lindsey Ennis, Heather Balthrop, Britt Atkins, Brittany Franks, Candi Harrington, Destiny Eberst, Erin Frazier, Fran Daniels Moses, Isabella Gentry, Janie Kay Weinber, Janiece Wright, Jessica Duncan, Jessica Harrison, Jodie King, Kathryn McGuire, Kelly Cartwright, Kelly Kesterson, Kerrie Heckethorn, Laura Butler, Leslie Anderson, Lisa Clift, Madison Johnson, Marsh Naidoo, Rachel Dodson, Rachel Townsend, Sandy Tarkington, Sonya Burks, Vanedda Webb, and Wendy Murray.
The mission of the American Women’s Business Association is to bring together businesswomen of a diverse occupation and to provide opportunities to them to help themselves and others grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support, and national recognition.
