Last week the ladies of Adams Rizzi & Sween joined in on the fun at Austin Area Chamber of Commerce 2026 Ladies Night Out.

It was a night full of fun and community as women from across the region came together to celebrate, network, and support an incredible cause.

Beyond the festivities, this event continues to make a meaningful impact—helping fund scholarships for non-traditional students at Riverland Community College and supporting ongoing women’s programming that empowers education and professional growth. A great time was had by all!
