PRESIDENT'S NOTE
Hello and welcome to the June issue of WomensBusiness.Info. Ana Maria, Lisa and I are all attending the WBENC Women in Business National Conference in San Francisco on June 9-11. We will have lots of information from the conference to report back to you over the coming months about corporate contacts, industry trends and business development opportunities.

Are you planning on joining us at our Annual Meeting? We are having the meeting again this year in conjunction with the FMSDC’s Annual Conference (www.fmsdc.org). Our meeting will be on Friday, 26 June from 8am to 11:30am—please join us for breakfast, workshops and matchmaker meetings. To Register, click here. We encourage you to also register for the FMSDC Free Expo on June 26th as well as their luncheon.

Did you receive our Tuesday Toolbox e-blast? The next e-blast is scheduled for June 9th.  The Super Bowl will be in Miami on 7 February 2010! Have you received the information we have sent out on registering as a vendor for the Super Bowl? Go to www.southfloridasuperbowl.com/Emerging_Biz to read about the requirements for being included in the Super Bowl Emerging Business handbook. The deadline is June 30th. All WBENC certified WBEs are eligible to be included in the handbook. The primary vendors to the Super Bowl are encouraged to send bid opportunities to vendors listed in the handbook. Call the office if you have any questions.

Happy reading,
