On December 4th we held our annual End of the Year Celebration. The event was a recap of our 2018 year and honoring our Women of Inspiration honorees as well as membership awards. The honorees included:
- Women of Inspiration: Dr. Seun Adigun. Dr. Adigun was a star athlete at University of Houston in track and field. She has competed in the 2012 Summer Olympics, and 2018 Winter Olympics. Her involvement in the Winter Olympics came from her creating the first-ever Nigeria women’s bobsled team. She is now a practicing chiropractor in the Houston area and an inspiration to all.

The night also included our committee chair persons discussing their committees and recruiting new members to serve on committees. This was an incredible end of the year celebration to recognize our members, committees, partners and our Women of Inspiration, it was definitely a night to remember. WISE Houston looks forward to seeing everyone at our first event of 2019, Speed Mentoring Roundtable on January 23rdat Minute Maid Park.
