TEA CELEBRATION HONORING OC METRO'S 20 WOMEN TO WATCH On April 3rd Goldranking Website Marketing Agency, the GDR Group, and Metro Pacific Bank sponsored a Tea in honor of OC Metro's 20 Women to Watch and Women in Business Powerhouse Professionals on behalf of the Women's Opportunities Center. Twenty-one women attended the event including; Dr. Casey Cooper sports psychologist, Joanne Sokolski Chief of Protocol for Orange County, Judi Warren CEO of WebWise Kids, and Cherry Uy Associate Director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at UC Medical Center. The things that stood out the most from the event were how touched and gracious the women were that someone brought them together. All of these successful women had a chance to say a few words after Nikki introduced them, read their accomplishments, and presented them with a long stem rose and gifts donated by Jennifer Taylor Meiswinkel President of Smart Girls Who Surf, a natural skin care company located in Laguna Beach, CA. The theme of their comments were universal; believe in yourself, find your passion, and work hard to accomplish your goals. Nikki Jackson, Mary Ehrlich, Gracy Krajacic, Amie Miller, and Judy Brinton-Bleak represented the Women's Opportunities Center, Lisa Salinger represented GDR Group, and Colleen Brady represented MetroPacific Bank. Colleen was also one of the ladies honored in the OC Metro's Powerhouse Professionals list. The University Club did an outstanding job on the pastries, chocolate covered strawberries, and tea.
