WASHINGTON CO. CHAMBER HOSTING ADMIN PROFESSIONALS’ APPRECIATION LUNCHEON THURSDAY
A local educator and motivational speaker will be tomorrow’s (Thursday) featured guest of the 8th Annual Administrative Professionals’ Appreciation Luncheon.
Wanda Smith will speak during tomorrow’s program, which begins at 11:30 a.m. in the Blinn College Student Center Banquet Room.
Smith is a teacher at Brenham Elementary School whose story of working her way up from being a custodian and bus monitor was covered by Jenna Bush-Hager on NBC’s Today Show. Inspired by Smith’s determination to become a teacher, Sam Houston State University, her alma mater, created the “Wanda Smith ‘Make a Difference’ Scholarship” for first-generation students pursuing careers in teaching.
Along with the lunch and program, attendees will receive gifts and have the opportunity to win door prizes.
The luncheon is hosted by the Washington County Chamber of Commerce. KWHI and KTEX-106 are headline sponsors for the event.
