Unfortunately, due to my hectic Wednesday schedule of classes and work, as well as the fact that I do not have a car here at school, I was unable to attend the FEB Women's Training and Awards Program on March 21 at Martin's West. I am very disappointed, because based on everything that my classmates who did attend have posted thus far, it looks like it was a beautiful and extremely successful event. So congratulations, Doc Chris and all those who were honored.

The Event Space
There was even a wonderful band playing to entertain the crowd!
Many vendors were present to assist the women, as well as promote their own organizations.
The morning was dedicated to the training sessions, and the afternoon to lunch and the awards ceremony. The food looked so delicious, and I am so sorry that I missed out!
It is so important to have a day dedicated to inspiring women and celebrating the achievements of those who have accomplished so much. The FEB Fellows gave out bronze, silver, and gold awards to three outstanding women. The presentation of the award and acceptance speech of the gold medal winner can be watched by clicking on this link (I can't find it via this YouTube search for some reason!): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Axc7IjQyK5w
The students who attended were very impressed by Doc Chris (pictured below with Professor Jay!), and said he seemed extremely happy and excited to be there and about the event's extreme success.
He gave a speech in the afternoon, which Tina captured on video, and he even did a Judge Doc Chris Court session, which Tina also recorded. It seems like it was a pre- "bad trial" for those of us who weren't there. I really tried to coordinate with someone who was willing to go in the morning hours, but no one ever got back to me! I hope I don't go on bad trial on Thursday! Anyway, both professional Doc Chris and fun Judge Doc Chris can be seen in the two videos below (one is just a link for the same reason above. This YouTube thing on the blog posts can be testy and doesn't always find the videos I want!!! Sorry.):
Professional Doc Chris:
Judge Doc Chris Court!!!
Doc Chris deserves to be proud. He put in a lot of hard work and got the number of registrants to skyrocket after the first Federal Women's Council event he held back in February. It is pretty cool to know that our class's efforts contributed to that success as well. We posted pictures and videos to Facebook and helped to get word out about the event via other social media platforms. It was a special day for a lot of people!
All the members of the Federal Women's Council Hall of Fame took a picture on the lawn with Doc Chris, president. It is so great that you strive for the betterment of women, Doc Chris! Keep doing it! And thank you!
