Member Spotlight

Wendy Raney | VP - Procurement

Windstream Communications, Inc.

Type of Business:  Communications

Website:  www.windstream.com

WBCS Member:  5 year(s)

Favorite Aspect of Council:  The opportunity to network and meet such dynamic women business owners. I have learned so much from members of WBCS about adversity and the daily opportunities that everyone faces. Being involved with WBCS has been a true pleasure. I am enjoying a different view of membership right now in leading from a regional perspective (Arkansas) and look forward to the opportunities we can discover/impact from this view.

Hero:  My Grandmother - she is the kindest, most generous, loving person I have ever known. She has taught me so much about the person I am and the person I strive daily to become. I hope someday to be half the woman my Grandmother is today at "101" years young.

Proudest Moment:  The day I was voted to be on the WBCS board of directors. I was so anxious to be able to positively impact this phenomenal organization in some small way.

Best Advice You've Been Given or Received:  From a business perspective I would say the best advice I received is "Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other". On a personal note the best advice I have received is "Forgiveness is essential to your own happiness".

Passion Beyond Business:  I enjoy visiting with family and friends, entertaining, traveling, shopping and discovering new locations to visit.
