Madison has the newest chapter of National Association of Wedding Professionals (NAWP), which was started last spring. This is an organization where all types of wedding professionals get together to learn more about what one another does to help brides and groom's on their wedding day. Our chapter has professionals from a variety of businesses: officiants, planners, photographers, transportation, registries, and so many more. As board members, we enjoy seeing the local excitement about this group.
At last night's meeting, we were happy to celebrate that we are 50 members strong. That's a lot of wedding knowledge in one room!
Also, at last night's meeting, awards were presented. These were awards that were officially presented at the national convention in Florida, which took place in September, and were brought back by our "delegates" who attended.
We are absolutely thrilled that Appleby Photography received the Madison Chapter 2010 Leadership Award! Of course, this puts a bit of pressure on us, as we feel that we need to live up to this honor. We appreciate the award and are looking forward to seeing NAWP continue to grow.
