MicroD #OnTheMove:
WithIt 2017 Annual Professional Conference
If you’re in the home furnishings industry and have spent any time on social media this year, you know about WithIt. Once again, MicroD is #OnTheMove and this time we’re heading to Charleston!
WithIt’s 20th Anniversary is in celebration all year long. This incredible organization built to empower, educate, and connect women in the industry to grow in their career and in leadership roles.
MicroD is a major supporter of women in the home furnishings industry. In our 20+ years in this industry, we’ve made a commitment to continue to education and empowerment of women in leadership. At High Point Market, MicroD team members have received some of the highest honors like the WOW Mentoring Award–an award won by both MicroD’s Business Development Executive Dana Helms this year and our President Manoj Nigam in previous years.
In our blog “Women in the Home Furnishings Industry”, we talked about our experience with WithIt.
