Positively Powerful Leadership Development, what is leadership

Debbie Paine, First Positively Powerful Woman Nonprofit Executive Winner

Debbie Paine, Executive Director, Arts & Business Council of Greater Phoenix is the first Positively Powerful Nonprofit Executive Award Recipient for her vision and programs that bring together art, artists, and businesses as well as her organization’s “Business On Board” program that prepares diverse executives to serve and lead boards of directors.

Debbie, mother of Brian, Matthew, and Shelly and grandmother of 4, says the secret of her success is “…trust in my higher self and the belief that everything happens for a reason; that if you put your aspirations out into the universe and go with the flow, abundance will follow.” She also credits a commitment to building and sustaining meaningful relationships.

Born and raised in Hudson, Massachusetts she became deeply involved in the non-profit community after relocating to Phoenix in 1981.  In addition to being president of Lead for Good, belonging to both the ASU Community Council and the Phoenix Symphony Board of Overseers, this award winner has 28 years of diversified leadership experience – Interim Director of Volunteer Services and coordinator of the 12 Who Care Honorable Kachina Awards for St. Luke’s Medical Center, Director of Operations, Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, Executive Director, Heather Farr Foundation – before her stewardship of the Arts & Business Council.

Debbie is “especially proud of the progress that we have made, over the last ten years, in growing the Arts & Business Council from a single program, Business Volunteers for the Arts, to the premiere capacity building organization for arts and cultural organizations in the Greater Metropolitan Phoenix area.”

The Arts & Business Council celebrates its 20th Anniversary at the Annual Business in the Arts Awards Breakfast, on August 18th, 2010 from 7:45 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown.  www.artbusinessphoenix.org

This 3rd annual “Positively Powerful Women Celebrate!” Awards Luncheon featuring the “Keys To Success” Recipients’ Panel will be held Friday May 21st at the Ritz-Carlton, Phoenix, Arizona from 11:30AM T0 2PM. The event is open to the public.

Dr. Joel Martin, speaker and master trainer:  My dream to have this event began when I spoke before a very influential group of women in business and law. I asked, ‘How many of you give to yourself as much as you give to others?’ Only one hand was raised. I decided then that it was necessary to create an event that provides women with bold, invigorating opportunities to fully unleash their dynamic selves. Stepping out on faith, I designed and produced Positively Powerful Women Awards and Workshops. With the support of sponsors and friends, I am able to make my dream a reality.”
