PRESIDENT'S NOTE

Hello and welcome to the March issue of WomensBusiness.Info.

March is Women’s History Month and we are planning to publish a Who’s Who of Florida WBEs by mid March. Please download and complete the WBE Profile that will be used to put the publication together. We want to include all Florida WBEs. This is a wonderful marketing opportunity for you—we will send the publication to all of our Corporate Partners. The printing of the publication is generously underwritten by Memorial Healthcare System.

We also request that you take a close look at the Office Depot Success Strategies events to be held around the country. The next event will take place in Orange County, California. All certified WBEs are eligible to apply for the Matchmaker sessions.  Please take a moment to read testimonials from several of our WBEs who attended the event in Orlando in the article below - you might be inspired to participate as well.

Are you familiar with WIPP, Women Impacting Public Policy? You should make a point to get to know and be active with WIPP. Their tag line is “If you run a business and are not involved in politics, politics will run your business”. Please take a moment to read the WIPP Instant Impact Newsletter. You will find a link on our newsletter and our website.  Make the decision to get involved.

We welcome your comments and suggestions.

Happy reading,

Nancy Allen

One of the many benefits of certification is the ability to participate in Matchmaker events.  You have the unique and valuable opportunity to meet face to face with a corporate procurement officer.

Have You Participated in a Matchmaker Event?
