As Coastal Women’s Forum continues our journey of Charting a New Course this year, our April daytime meeting will be Celebrating Women First Responders!
Please join us on Wednesday, April 20 from 11:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at The Flame Banquet Center, 2301 Neuse Blvd., New Bern, to hear from New Bern’s only woman firefighter, Elona Fowler.
The meeting includes a buffet lunch, and the cost is $25 per person. You do not have to be a member to attend your first two meetings, but we ask that you become a member after that. Registration is required to attend.
Here is some information about our speaker, Elona Fowler. After succeeding as the only woman in her fire academy program and completing a very strenuous application process, Elona joined the New Bern Fire Department three years ago and will tell you she has never looked back!
She has a strong passion for community service and continuous learning. In addition to her role with the New Bern Fire Department, she is pursuing a degree in Fire Protection Technology.
Elona is the mother of two young children and her husband is a retired Marine who presently serves with the North Carolina Highway Patrol – a true first responder family!
Pre-registration is required and the deadline to register is Friday, April 15, by 11:00 a.m. You can register and pay online securely with a credit card or register online and pay at the door with a check or cash payment.
