Sandra Lombana has over 20 years of entrepreneurial and professional development experience in the State of Louisiana.  Her primary responsibilities have included development and management of businesses and/or programs for companies from the initial stages of planning, to implementation and management.  She also has experience in marketing, public relations, and working with local, state and national public officials.  Sandra has enjoyed working with the local Chambers of Commerce/Economic Development groups both as a professional and a volunteer Board member, which included several city-to-city exchange programs with local officials and lobbying trips to Washington DC.     In the late 90's Sandra spent much of her time in Tangipahoa Parish where she started and managed a successful economic development organization.  It included leading a grassroots program to enlighten the community of the importance of zoning, which ultimately lead to the recruitment of a Fortune 500 company to Louisiana.  She also successfully lobbied the Governor's Office (Foster) and local senators/representatives for $4 million in funding for the project.  Sandra is currently single and resides in St. Tammany Parish.  She also founded the New Orleans Women & Wine on Wednesday in 2005. 

Rhonda Louque has worked in leadership development and training with Shell Oil Company for 32 years.  In this capacity she has taught team building, communication skills, leadership, and personal development.  However, 13 years ago she found her true passion in helping women look their best with professional skin care, relaxing with at-home spa treatments, and building confidence.  In 2004, Rhonda realized that she could take her new-found passion and merge it with her many years in leadership development to help others create a job that many women can only dream of.  Now as a Unit Director with BeautiControl, Rhonda leads a team of empowered women who are building businesses of their own while working to achieve their dreams.  Rhonda has observed in her years with Shell that corporate life often has limitations which can take your future out of your control.  In Rhonda’s BeautiControl world, she has determined that limitations exist only if the imagination fails to dream!  If you are looking for flexibility, excellent income potential, and the joy of accomplishment in building the business of your dreams, you owe it to yourself to talk to Rhonda – a true pro in developing leaders for 32 years.   Click here to visit Rhonda's website.

Women Bingo
Come experience a unique facilitated icebreaker which provides a fun, efficient way to meet other women by enabling attendees to acquire many direct introductions in a short amount of time using a specially designed program called  Women Bingo.   It's an easy concept: upon arrival at the event, attendees are offered an envelope.  The envelope front has 16 questions a la bingo style, but instead of boxes with numbers, there are boxes with different questions and a place for names on each box. (Example: what is your dream vacation?, your favorite late-night spot?, etc.)   Attendees ask each other these questions, then jot the answers and names down in each of the boxes.  The first one to complete the Women Bingo card with 16 names shouts "BINGO!"  and is awarded with a complimentary bottle of the featured wine, but all the Women Bingo players are winners as they get to take home the perfect tool to building their own personal "good ol' girls network", an excellent source of contacts for whenever a specific need arises, for example for a real estate agent, party planner, stockbroker, tennis pro, etc. 
Come Join the Fun!
