June Luncheon

Rebecca Dollinger from ABWA National will be conducting inductions. Rebecca Dollinger is the 2018-2019 District II Vice President and a Trustee for the Stephen Bufton Memorial Educational Fund of the National Board of Directors. Currently, she is a 2019-2020 Approved Candidate for National Secretary/Treasurer for the National Board of Directors.

For the past four years, Rebecca has been a member of ABWA and the Outlook Positive Express Network (OPEN) located in Dallas, TX. Her accomplishments include (beside National) being recognized as OPEN’s 2016 Protégé, 2017 Woman of the Year, and 2019 Top Ten Nominee. Furthermore, Rebecca has served on OPEN’s Board, as well as various committees to advance and grow her league/district. Starting in 2016, Rebecca felt called to step onto the National stage as a Candidate for District II Vice President.

Rebecca is a native Texan; born and raised in Dallas, who then married the “love of her life,” Gerry Dollinger, another native Texan. They have one daughter, Christina (Kris) who now lives in Houston. I think it’s fair to say Rebecca’s family loves Texas.

For the past 15 years, Rebecca Dollinger has honed her professional copywriting skills as the owner of StyleWriter, Inc. Using her writing platform, Rebecca has given voices to women who had none:  the Abused, the Culturally Silenced, and the Oppressed. She is overwhelmingly grateful that she can use her talent to tell these women’s stories of strength, fortitude, and faith.
