Members and guests of the NAPW Raleigh-Durham, NC Local Chapter gathered on May 29th for a professional networking meeting at Simply Crepes in Lafayette Village.
The group of professional women held a clothing and shoe drive at the meeting in support of the local Dress for Success.
The Chapter pledged to continue to collect items for the nonprofit at all networking meetings and help local domestic violence victims, as well.
NAPW Raleigh-Durham Chapter President Louisa Ukochovwera opened the meeting by welcoming all in attendance.
She thanked the women for taking the time out from their busy midweek schedule to attend. She spoke about how important it is for members and guests to get together each month.
Its wonderful that we meet face to face and put our minds together to better help one another, professionally, socially, morally, individually and as a group, while extending needed support and welfare to our community in general, said President Ukochovwera.
The main focus of the May networking meeting was supporting the Raleigh-Durham Chapter in its effort to support Dress for Success and domestic violence victims.
The Chapter President stated that the Chapter has decided to collect items to support the less privileged who are struggling to get back to work and life. The President went on to highlight the importance of helping out those in need and made it known that donations toward this cause would be ongoing.
Items will be collected during each Chapter meeting, hence, members are urged to try to please support this cause by digging into their closets for items not needed or wanted anymore, said Raleigh-Durham Chapter President Louisa Ukochovwera.
A number of attendees brought donations for the nonprofit to the meeting and Ms. Ukochovwera thanked them for their show of love and support when it came to helping those in need.
The Chapter President told the group of professional women that she is always available to meet and pick up donated items as they become available, not just during meetings. She called on all members to reach out to her whenever they need her and she will be happy to pick up items.
President Ukochovwera stated that as soon as the group has collected a reasonable amount of items, they will be shared and distributed by Raleigh-Durham Chapter representatives.
Ms. Ukochovwera told members and guests that Chapter member Nellie Scott is vested in the Dress for Success organization and what it stands for. She has helped design and has delivered training modules for the participants on topics such as Interviewing skills, salary negotiations and how to market their skills.
When we help ONE woman, we help a family, said Raleigh-Durham Chapter President Louisa Ukochovwera.
Chapter member Donise Benton, who is spearheading the charity support committee assisted by the Chapter President, reiterated the need for charity support. She explained the purpose, mission and vision of Victory Beyond Odds, a nonprofit radio talk show she founded to help women and men throughout the state to obtain the help that is needed to live in safe, wholesome and productive communities.
The Raleigh-Durham Chapter President then went round the room helping out members with locating information on the Chapter Page and how to access, add and create posts on the Community Wall. She reminded members and guests that one can only create a post after joining a Local Chapter. Michelle Rogers added that its important to educate each other on the effective use of the Local Chapter Page, especially the use of social media.
The President also reiterated the need to ensure members have access to the Chapter Page and know how to navigate through it while utilizing the useful tools provided by NAPW to all professional like-minded women for professional and personal growth.
At the conclusion of the networking meeting, the Chapter President thanked members and guests for attending and making the meeting a success.
The meeting provided an opportunity to network, and this was precisely the focus of all our Chapter meetings, said President Ukochovwera. Members and guests enjoyed one-on-one, interactive social networking and generously supported the Chapters charitable projects.

Combining patented technology and high quantity materials, No More Slugs and Snails Flexi Copper Adhesive Tape has transformed the basic copper barrier tape into a new generation product that not only creates a more effective barrier at deterring slugs and snails, but also has visual appeal.
Its well known that copper is an effective natural deterrent for slugs and snails as it generates a mild electrical tingle when it comes into contact with their slime. However, through extensive testing Tecman discovered traditional copper slug tape does have its flaws. If its not wide enough it wont create an effective barrier and the rigid copper tape can be difficult to apply to uneven surfaces like plant pots.
The result of poorly applied copper tape is more than just a matter of aesthetics. If the adhesive doesnt have 100% surface contact, the gaps attract dirt and moisture and can compromise the adhesive strength and longevity of the barrier. Also, quite often with traditional copper slug tapes, the adhesive is of low grade, so does not last throughout the seasons.
To a solve many of these common issues Tecman developed a patented die cutting process and specialist adhesive to create a new generation of copper slug tape;
Firstly, its up to 15mm wider than conventional products creating a larger, more effective barrier and the clever flexi construction makes it much easier to apply around pots and planters. No More Slugs and Snails Flexi Copper Adhesive Tape.
The striped copper and flexible adhesive allows the tape to mould and conform to uneven surfaces and awkward shapes, providing a clean, neat barrier that eliminates ugly creases. The flexi construction helps the adhesive gain 100% surface contact, creating a longer lasting barrier. Plus the specialist adhesive has been developed to prolong adhesion strength to pots and planters and bond to almost any surface, yet can still be removed without leaving sticky residue.
Finally, as well as creating a more effective barrier at deterring slugs and snails, the patterned copper construction actually enhances pots and planters and looks great within the garden. This is a major plus point for gardeners that want an effective solution that doesnt compromise the aesthetics in their garden.
Tecman have launched a short demo video which highlights the features of No More Slugs and Snails Flexi Copper Adhesive Tape compared to traditional copper slug tape.
