Member Benefits Spotlight

Margie Kaufman, Getzler Henrich & Associates LLC

I first got involved in IWIRC at my local chapter – the New England Network. I attended IWIRC network events and loved connecting with the local women of the chapter. I became a board member and then a co-chair of the New England Network. It was during my time as a co-chair that I attended my first leadership summit and saw what IWIRC does on an international level. I’ve met so many wonderful women who I am proud to call my friends. These women truly want to help and promote each other, mentor those with less experience, and make EVERYONE feel welcome within the group.

I quickly joined the IWIRC Programming Committee, assisting in the planning of the IWIRC Spring Conference in Washington, D.C. It was so much fun working together with many wonderful women to plan a great conference. My efforts volunteering with the Programming Committee led to my current role serving as the IWIRC Program Committee Director. In this role I am able to work together with IWIRC members from around the world to plan education sessions and social/ networking activities for the IWIRC conferences.

If you’d like to get involved with IWIRC Programming, please reach out – everyone is welcome!
