Volume 3, Issue 9 - September 2008
Greetings, folks -
Well, I hope everyone had a great summer, and that you're all ready for the fall season. Back to school, back to
work, and ready for the run up to year-end! Time sure flies.
I have some exciting news to share this month. I've been awarded a scholarship to a five-day executive development program, co-sponsored by the Women's Business
Enterprise Council and the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. It's set for the second week of October, at the IBM Conference facility in Palisades, New York, and I have UPS to thank for my nomination. (Thanks, UPS!)
I
won't go into the details now, but the program has been designed to help women business owners make strategic decisions, optimize core processes and manage business relationships. There will be 50 of us involved, and the idea is that
through participation in this program, we'll develop the kind of support network that will outlast the time we spend together. I'm really looking forward to it.
I'll tell you more about it next month, so stay tuned!
Regards,
Linda Magnusson-Rosario, CEO
