| Just wanted to congratulate the Special Events Committee for a fabulous Gala. There were many changes this year in the Gala and I think they were for the better. Our attendence was way up, the speaker was inspiring and the setting wonderful. Thanks for all your time and energy! |

I am not a memeber, but am interested
in opening a business. I have the
financial means and am quite interested
in opening an art gallery. But, I really
want a person to partner with me -
not to provide money, but to help
with marketing, launching the business,
etc. What is the best way to find someone who is interested? |

Hello,
My name is Melissa White and I am the Public Relations Manager of a website called Women of Charlotte (WOC). Women of Charlotte, www.womenofcharlotte.net, as heard on the “Matt and Ramona Show” on 107.9 The Link, was created by Tiffany Brinson to provide an organization designed to give women the opportunity to come together to listen, share and support each other. We are quickly becoming one of the best things about Charlotte! It's a great way for women to meet friends, plan outings and discover their city, whether they've lived here for years or just arrived.
Women of Charlotte has grown considerably in the past year and a half. One of the things that we have noticed in the time that WOC has been operational is that women often ask questions about local businesses and services. And as you know, word of mouth, especially among our demographic, is very powerful. We want to help businesses in the area, especially those devoted to the service of women, gain new and returning clientele, and by extension, maintain the high quality of our website. If this is something that may be of interest to you, check out our website and get back with me at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your time!
Best regards,
Melissa White
Public Relations Manager

Fabi,
There were suppose to be greeters at each meeting and there usually were. I think they get caught up in visiting and forget what they are suppose to do. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't.
Yes, you did sign up to be a mentor but the person that was suppose to coordinate it dropped off the face of the earth. She was telling me it was moving along but then I heard nothing. I apologize but it was just too much for me to start it myself. Hopefully next year we will be able to get it going. |

Hi Candice,
Give Ellen Linares a call and she will take care of you - (704) 365-2014. She is one of our NAWBO Charlotte members. Tell her I said "hi". :-) |
| Candice Langston March 30, 2007, 1:20 pm |
| I need help with an affordable health care plan for a small business. Advice and referrals are welcome, or if you are in the industry and can help me get set up, that's even better! Email or call--704.365-4536. Thank you!! |

| Meeting Hostess is an interesting idea...Last year I had volunteered to be a guide/networking mentor of sorts to new members (I don't remember the title) But the concept was to lend a hand to new members...help them make introductions, contact them to have them register for meetings etc...I thought it was a great concept...Could be used for any members who need a bit of networking help as well...Any comment on what happened to initiating this? (wouldn't this fall under Membership?) |
| Nicole Sinclair March 20, 2007, 11:56 am |
| Thanks so much Celia! It was the efforts of everyone that made it such a success! I just hope that we can KEEP IT UP, because NAWBO is a wonderful organization and it deserves it! |
| Celia Klein March 6, 2007, 10:24 pm |
| A hearty congrats to Nicole Sinclair for the trifecta- three great speakers in a row! Nicole - today's meeting is probably one of the largest in terms of attendance we've had in YEARS! You made NAWBO-Charlotte shine today and I sincerely thank you for your efforts! |

Cool Message Board Lillie - thanks!
Stephanie - Yes the NAWBO address is: 1800 Camden Rd., Suite 107, #44
Charlotte, NC 28203 -- same place /different box (it is a UPS center). :-)
Maggie - Attendance varies depending on the event - for example, the March 6 luncheon has about 100 registrants now - Welcome to NAWBO Charlotte!! |
| Lillie Newton February 28, 2007, 11:54 pm |
| Karen - I've noted your comment and will air it at our next board meeting. Thanks for your participation! |
| Maggie February 28, 2007, 3:22 pm |
| What is th eattendence at the meetings? I am just applying for membership. |
| Karen Frank February 27, 2007, 5:21 pm |
| I believe in order for all of us to better network we need more limelight time! I know this will help. I also think having a "hostess" or a few of them at each event will assist in others getting to know each other! |
| SVSlavin February 27, 2007, 2:12 pm |
| Marguerite, it could be because Jan and Feb have been incredibly busy months...true for my 2 businesses and all my clients; and, with all the Blogs and other plethora of email, I know I'm not looking for anywhere else to send messages! BUT, my question is about the NAWBO address....Ste 107, #44? Is that correct? I thought it changed FROM 107 to 44... |
| marguerite Rupar February 27, 2007, 11:33 am |
Hey!
This is a great idea and hopefully we can get some feedback from members about what is good and bad. My concern right now is the lack of participation by many members. Any comments? |
| Lillie Newton February 6, 2007, 12:05 pm |
