Cultivating Mental Fitness!

In a world where there is so much volatility, unrest, and negative press, we can easily become numb and discouraged. Cultivating Mental Fitness, “the ability to respond to life’s challenges with a positive vs negative mindset” will help you get out of a rut and into a groove.

During today`s Business of Women luncheon, group discussion and a debrief around these very ideas was facilitated by Jeannie Jones, Founder of Rudder Consulting LLC. Thank you for helping us uncover the tools so we can take the reigns of life and more consistently be “the best version of yourself!"

The Cary Chamber of Commerce supports our educators, students and schools!

This month, Gina Wilner, Client Operations Manager & College Planning Consultant, and Lindsey Ringenbach, Director of College Consulting, of Advantage College Planning, joined our bi-monthly education series on the impact of losing affirmative action in college admissions. The Supreme Court ruled that colleges can no longer use race as a factor in the college admissions process. They discussed how the college admissions process will change and how your student can create an effective application as a result of the Court`s decision.

Our Education Series in sponsored by NC State Athletics.

------------------------------------------

Also this month, Lisa Epling with Cary Elementary was honored as our November Teacher of the Month. Thank you for all that you do, Lisa! This award is sponsored by Huntington Learning Center of Cary!

Our Annual Rise and Shine Breakfast with Ted Abernathy was a huge success! After unpacking the complexities of our local, national and global economies, it is always good to be Cary! We consistently have the lowest unemployment in Wake County, sitting right around 2.9% for 2023 so far! A true testament to the hard work and dedication of our amazing organizations and community leaders! We are lucky to live in such a vibrant and robust region of North Carolina.

A big thank you to our sponsors for ensuring this event`s success!

Cary in on the move! We had another great turnout for our Eye Opener Breakfast series this morning. A big thanks to Kelly Blazey, with the Town of Cary, and Joe Milazzo II, with Regional Transportation Alliance, for updating our members on the state of transportation!

From bus stop improvements, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), Triangle highway and Raleigh-Durham International Airport improvements (and more!), there are numerous and simultaneous efforts underway to seamlessly move people around Cary and the Triangle area. The Wake County Transit Plan has four focused principles to 1). connect the region 2). connect all Wake County communities 3.) provide frequent reliable urban transit and 4). provide greater access to transit.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our Eye Opener Series sponsors: First Bank and Monument Property Group! A special thanks to our Community Supporter: Carolina Hurricanes.
