Congratulations to all of our WEA members, associates, supporters and friends! Each one of you has helped this professional nonprofit women's organization improve and define the meaning of being an entrepreneur in your communities. This past year, our WEA members have also made a significant impact in their individual communities. Thank you for the personal time and commitment!
Initiatives - In 2009, WEA will concentrate on the following:
Entrepreneurial Advocacy - WEA will move forward with advocating for our women entrepreneurs and providing timely assistance on individual personnel issues.
Recruitment - WEA will set the agenda and take the lead in recruiting Spanish bilingual and bi-cultural members throughout America. Almost all communities (small, large, rural and urban) are in dire need of bilingual and bi-cultural individuals in their businesses.
Leadership Development – Over 50% of our membership is prepared to step into the role of supervisors, managers, CEOs, and Executive Directors. However, Leadership Development is a continuous process as technology changes, business practices change and society changes. Our members must keep a step-ahead of these changes through national and local training.
Research and Publishing – Many of WEA members are the experts in a plethora of subjects. WEA, Inc., in cooperation with our various of global and international partners, will join in publishing entrepreneurial research, business strategies, & community activities.
Women in Transition – The problem has progressed with the economy being in the state that its in. WEA has partnered with various women in transitioning programs and centers in efforts in assisting these individuals back to society. WEA will provide resources, community awareness seminars, photo partnerships, and response strategies for the Latino communities.
Youth Entrepreneur Development – In each of our global communities, we must continue to mentor our youth and be positive role models, as we have been for the past 5 years. WEA will be hosting Youthpreneur Forums and workshops that will serve as a bridge for the next generation of future businessowners.
Women Entrepreneurs Of America has the membership, the capacity, and most importantly, the commitment to reach these goals.
