In that role, Kolleen was responsible for finding her own clients and quickly learned the value of networking, networking, and even more networking. It was in 2004 and during her sales career that she, along with two other professional business women met for lunch with the purpose of helping to motivate each other after Hurricane Ivan had blown through our area and changed not only the physical landscape of the area, but also impacted the business landscape as well. Out of that lunch was born what is now a thriving not-for-profit organization for business women.

Kolleen currently serves full-time as the Founding Director of what was originally called Women’s Business Lunch and is now known as Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast. The organization advocates a culture of confidence building, lifelong learning, collaboration, empowering others and a spirit of charitable giving.

We frequently hear from attendees that these meeting are chock full of value and a great way to build new relationships to help support their businesses. The Pensacola meetings include lunch paid for by our sponsors.

– Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast Magazine. We are in our third year of production of the magazine and our goal is for this to be a quarterly publication. For 2017, we will only produce one edition. Each edition features interviewees of local successful leaders in business who share their honest thoughts on leadership, success, obstacles, and inspiration as it relates to women in business. We also include other articles on leadership, networking, and other skill development. It is geared for anyone in business or looking for business motivation and tips.

– Annual Pursue Your Passion Women’s conference. To help celebrate National Business Women’s Week, we hold a full day conference during the third week of October along with several other events leading up to the conference. We feature a national keynote speaker, several local successful leaders in business, along with Speed Networking, an Experience Hall, structured and unstructured networking exercises and plenty of laughter, relationship building and excitement. Our attendees are not only motivated by the conference but they leave with tangible tips they can take back and implement in their businesses to lead them to success. For 2017, our conference will be held on Thursday, October 19th at Sanders Beach.

– Power Up Challenge is a 12 week educational series where we hold classes once a week for two hours.

Stop The Bleed Campaign

00:00 /

Stop The Bleed Campaign

The ‘Stop the Bleed’ campaign was developed by the American College of Surgeons in 2013 – just a few months after the active shooter disaster that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in
Connecticut. ACS convened a joint committee to create a protocol for national policy to enhance survivability from active shooter and intentional mass casualty events. In addition to physicians, this group included representatives from the federal government, the National Security Council, the U.S. military, the FBI, and emergency medical response organizations. This effort served as the
genesis for the Stop the Bleed campaign, which was officially launched by the White House in 2015.
The Stop the Bleed campaign trains, equips, and empowers people to help during a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives – keeping in mind that a person can die from blood loss
within five minutes. With the support of MAG’s Medical Reserve Corp and other key stakeholders, the Georgia Society of the American College of Surgeons secured a grant from the American College of Surgeons to promote the Stop the Bleed campaign in Georgia. The Georgia Trauma Commission subsequently added one million dollars to its budget to purchase trauma kits for public schools and other public places in the state.

Each Stop the Bleed kit contains a CAT tourniquet, an emergency trauma dressing, compressed gauze, two pairs of gloves, trauma shears, a marker, and instructions. The Stop the Bleed campaign is also designed to train school nurses and administrators in proper hemorrhage control techniques.

Dr. John Harvey is the medical director of the Medical Association of Georgia’s Medical Reserve
Corps, which is prepared to respond to natural disasters and disease outbreaks in the state. Dr.
Harvey has been a general and trauma surgeon for more than 25 years. MAG’s former president is
the chief of surgery at the Gwinnett Medical Center. He is also a colonel and command surgeon in the
Georgia State Defense Force.
Kathy Browning is the executive director of the Georgia Society of the American College of
Surgeons, which is the largest professional organization for surgeons in the state. She oversees the
organization’s legislative, communications, marketing, and grassroots efforts.
Dr. Shoheb Ali is a resident in internal medicine at Gwinnett Medical Center. As a member of the MAG
MRC, he gave a Stop the Bleed presentation and training demonstration during MAG’s legislative
seminar in June. It is also worth noting that Dr. Ali is the chair of MAG’s Resident Section.
