NAWBO Needs to
Grow... Can You Help?
My committee needs
volunteers. Have you ever wanted to help the community but
just didn't have hours and hours to spend on a service project?
ME TOO! I would like to invite a few great ladies that can
have a cup of coffee, and meet twice a month to promote NAWBO.
If you know someone in TV, or Print, let your connections help us do
what we do best: Network, Market and Lead. Please give
me a call; I promise our meetings are over a cup of coffee and will
not last more than 1 hour. Thanks!

SPOTLIGHT: PUBLIC POLICY
Jeanne Richard Jones, Chair
Shovel Ready Training
There
is some irony in those words but the fact is there is a huge
chunk of stimulus money for training workers hurt by the
economy. In the area of healthcare alone, there is
$600 million to address shortages and prepare us all for
universal healthcare by training primary healthcare
providers including doctors, dentists and nurses, etc. It
appears companies may have to access these funds from
federal agencies through Requests for Proposals, Quotes,
etc.
There is also money for those "green jobs" we've heard
about in our local newspaper. Home weatherization
projects will receive $6.2 billion to help low income
families reduce their energy costs by weatherizing their
homes and making the country more energy efficient. If
you own a construction comapny, you might want to follow the
lead of construction firms who have teamed-up with non
profits...Read
