InSys Views - March 2010

Volume 5, Issue 3 - March 2010

I'm happy to report that I'm expanding our support for the Institute for the Economic Empowerment of Women. We're now listed as one of their official sponsors in 2010, along with companies like AT&T, Google and UPS. This is the group that brings women to the US each year for training and networking, and I was excited to serve as a mentor in their "Peace Through Business" program last summer. It's a great organization.

Their mission is to empower women to grow their businesses, pursue entrepreneurial ventures and become more active advocates for public policy reform. They do it with education and coaching, and by bringing women together as part of a larger, international business network.

If you visit their website at www.ieew.org, you can learn more about them. And you can make a direct donation on the site, too. Why don't you? Every little bit helps, and it's a very worth cause.
