It started as a one day workshop back in 2000…
As more and more women attended Debby Hoffman Adair’s In The Presence of Positive Women workshops, they began to ask how they could join… It was a time when few organizations existed to celebrate women.
Under Debby’s leadership we had a good 18+ year run – with luncheons, workshops, retreats and monthly meetings in Concord and Nashua, NH, Chelmsford, MA and York, ME.
As Debby settles into her new life in Utah, we are pleased that Olivette Aviso is breathing new life into IPPW! We encourage you to see what makes IPPW different.
About Olivette Aviso

Olivette is a multi-faceted person who loves people! With her nursing background she has had the opportunity to work in many areas of the healthcare spectrum including intensive care nursing, teaching, case management, behavioral health, and long-term care. The opportunities to improve lives has been a long-term goal for her, and she brings that perspective to everything she does.
She met Debby Adair through their membership in Toastmasters International many years ago, and they built a fun relationship through that membership experience.
Olivette’s leadership experience spans both her corporate and Toastmasters careers, the latter of which included being elected to the District Governorship of District 45 Toastmasters stretching from Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.
She is also a Master Gardener and a member of AARP-NH and is a member of the Speakers Bureau of both organizations. She brings her skills to IPPW to continue and enhance the member’s experience.
