The largest growing sector of WWLF has been the
well-attended events held across the nation. The
WWLF events team is led by Executive Director of
Events, Amelia DeJesus. The team is divided into
three regions - Western, Central and East, and each
is led by a Regional Director. There are city representatives
in more than 20 of the country’s major cities,
who hold small local events for members.
Most of the interaction is through the regions’ Brown
Bag Lunch and Learn educational webinar sessions,
as well as golf lessons and tournaments and networking
events, many of which are free to members.
WWLF also holds larger networking events at PCIA,
CTIA and SWS trade shows. National events are
led by Kesha DeJesus, WWLF’s Director of National
Events.
About the rapid growth of WWLF, President Nicole
AndrePont says, “I am so proud to be a part of this
organization. Past Presidents, Patti Ringo and Deb
Bennett, built the foundation on which WWLF stands
today. I assembled a diverse, talented Board of
Directors, who work tirelessly as volunteers, because
they believe in the organization. I credit them for the
remarkable growth of our membership and the positive
reputation WWLF has in the industry. We have a
grand vision for WWLF. We are expanding our reach,
developing new programs, and aspire to be a robust
organization within the wireless industry.”
