Meet the 10-Year Anniversary Gala Planning Committee!

“The best part of serving on the wegg® 10-Year Anniversary Gala Committee is getting to know fellow members more deeply while sharing the excitement of preparing for what promises to be an incredible celebration of wegg’s achievements. There is truly so much to be proud of!”
– Laurel Delaney, President, Women Entrepreneurs Grow Global®

With our 10-year anniversary celebration coming up on November 6th, 2025 at Tortoise Supper Club, we thought it would be fitting to introduce the minds behind planning our gala. Meeting monthly to discuss every detail in detail, the committee’s tireless efforts are already proving to form the makings of an event to remember.

The planning committee is bolstered by the help of wegg’s COO Bob Marovich and Loyola University Chicago’s Women in Business collective, so we would be remiss to not also shout out to Bob and the WIB’s executive board members, Emily Galvez, Alexa Galindo, Maria Solis, and Claire Jackson! Thank you for all of your support!

With just over two months to go until the big day, the team is hard at work. We hope to see you there!
