WIPIN (short for Women in the Pet Industry Network) is owned and operated by inspirational and motivational speaker and coach “Shawna Schuh.” Shawna is a gorgeous head honcho and dynamo that tackles life and business with grace and style. She nourishes the WIPIN team with her pearls of business wisdom and leads with the ultimate success of each of her members in mind. Members come from all nationalities, denominations, age groups, business levels, locations coast to coast (with some members participating from abroad) and categories of pet business. The common thread is that All are women (though a few men do participate vicariously through memberships extended to women within their companies) and Everyone in the network loves and lives “PETS.” Once per year, the WIPIN membership gets together formally at WIPIN headquarters in Portland, Oregon. (This is in addition to get togethers around the country and meet ups at industry trade shows and events). Each year the group chooses five finalists within five categories: Advocate, Corporate, Entrepreneur, Rising Star and Solopreneur. The five finalists are then narrowed to one per category who are deemed the annual category winners and finally one of those five members is chosen as the “Industry Leader” to carry the WIPIN crown and “Woman of the Year” title. This year Lick Magazine pays tribute to WIPIN’s five Industry Winners and “Woman of the Year.” Corporate Winner “Gila Kurtz” was crowned WIPIN “Woman of the Year.” “Congratulations” to:
Advocate Winner / Marci Koski Corporate Winner / Gila Kurtz Entrepreneurial Winner / Candace D’Agnolo
Rising Star Winner / Rebecca Breese Solopreneur Winner / Mona Straub
Gila Kurtz is another hard working and very successful WIPIN Member. Lick Magazine and All the WIPIN members send their sincere and heartfelt Congratulations to Gila, for her continued and amazing achievements. Lick Magazine is a proud member of WIPIN and was one of the five WIPIN Advocate Category Finalists. We may not have made the final cut but we are still “a Winner.” Being part of a network like Women In The Pet Industry where ALL dreams are recognized and cherished and each member extends a hand to others is the exception not the rule of business today. If you are a woman in the pet industry I strongly encourage you to seek the guidance and support that you will find within the WIPIN membership.
With Shawna’s Love, Light and Vision you will be a Winner too. We are ALL winners! Always Believe! Always Live from the Heart! Be a WIPIN Winner!
