2007 Virginia Furman Winner

Brenda Anderson, Nebraska District

Brenda has been a member of FWI since 1992 and has served in many leadership positions. She is not only a role model to her Group and District, but to her community. She serves on the local school and chamber boards while managing two bank branches.

Brenda's personal mission is to help women be successful, both personally and professionally. Brenda served as the Nebraska District President in 2006-2007 and faced many challenges. Brenda was always the positive voice on the monthly Nebraska District calls encouraging members to keep FWI healthy and grow the groups.

Brenda made time to counsel with the Groups, coming up with suggestions and ideas to support their efforts. Effective recruitment ideas helped one Nebraska Group to bring in eight new members. Congratulations to you Brenda!
