Midland, where she spoke about her
experiences in owning a business and
working in what was at one time a
male-dominated field.
“It is an honor to sit on a panel with
such a distinguished group of
women,” said Roggenbuck, who as a
panelist noted she will bring her ex-
periences as a mother, business
owner, public servant and spouse to
share information and inspiration
with the attendees.
“This is a great opportunity for par-
ents to bring their children to learn
about being a driving force in their
community,” added Roggenbuck.
