FEATURING: An Interview with Ola Muhammed, owner of Ola la Ijorere in downtown Elgin.....Ola, a former architect turned creative genius captivates clients around the world with her vast array of imaginative designs that add exuberance to every occasion. She established IJORERE The Invitation, Inc. June 2008.

Ola’s architectural expertise is evident in the unconventional approaches to her designs. Done with such precision, it is this background that sets IJORERE creations apart from the rest. These invitations don’t simply herald grand occasions, they are works of art.

Over the years, Ola has garnered accolades in the media, including from the likes of NBC, WCIU, Entrepreneur Magazine, INSIDE Weddings, BellaNaija, Munaluchi Bridal, Wedding Nouveau and more. She also has worked with celebrities of the industry; a couple worth mentioning are Louis Carr of BET (Black Entertainment Television) & David Tutera of My Fair Weddings.

Never idle, Ola took IJORERE to a higher level in May of 2013. She left her 20-year career in the design & construction industry and designed/opened her flagship storefront, Ola' la'! IJORERE.

"Ola says her life story is one that is ever shaped by culture, by geography and by a God-given eye for unique design. Her burgeoning enterprise is the result of a directed path, a drive to see her creative vision brought to life and the realization that limits are often an illusion."

Ola Morin-Muhammed resides in Algonquin with her husband and three young children.

Women In Management Fox Valley presents:   Leveraging Business Skills for Volunteerism

Women in Management Fox Valley (WIM) kicks off its new year of speakers on Thursday, September 11, 2014 with a presentation topic of “utilizing your skills and interests as volunteers” by Daryl Rubin, director of development, Food for Greater Elgin.

Daryl will discuss how leveraging business skills for volunteerism benefits the community and enriches personal and professional goals. 

With more than 25 years in fundraising and development, she joined Food for Greater Elgin in 2013. She is an innovator and experienced leader in the non-profit sector, where she has raised over 5 million dollars and coordinated more than 100 events in the Chicagoland area. Prior to her current role, she spent 17 years as Director of Special Events at the Center for Enriched Living in Highland Park and 5 years at Rainbows for All Children.

A key to Rubin’s success is how she leverages the strengths of volunteers. From small high net worth donor dinners to annual benefit galas and golf outings, her teams' events have consistently exceeded fundraising goals in part from managing volunteers in all aspects of the events. She has involved teams of volunteers that have included interns, corporate CEOs, and entrepreneurial women. Her approach to developing volunteers is simple: understand each volunteer's abilities and experiences and allow them to impart who and what they know.
