Hey YOU!
(yes... you)

...
let's get real.

I constantly hear from you nice folks on the coast that you can never find "anything to do" over there.  I must get a phone call, or an email, every week from a new person who is feeling a bit "lost" wondering where all the action is.

So... why dontcha' consider this...  quit whining and MAKE it happen! 

Yes... I mean YOU!

We have hundreds of business professionals in Brevard who get our newsletter.  They either live on the coast, work on the coast, or both.

It would be super SIMPLE to start a monthly LEADS Group, luncheon, OR networking mixer.

We provide all the MARKETING... you just line up the location... it may take a couple of phone calls... or just one. 

Got 15 minutes to organize?

Once it's set up... you only have to "run the show" by showing up and greeting everyone. 

...Got an hour or two once a month to have fun?
Make new connections?

You don't have to be the life of the party... or a powerhouse.  You just have to have a warm smile and a friendly handshake.

Benefits for your CAREER or BUSINESS are endless!  Everyone knows WHO YOU ARE... instantly!

Why not start off the New Year with a new business image... be a leader and others will follow!

Interested?

"The U.S.Women's Chamber of Commerce's National Congress on the Economic Advancement of Women
http://www.uswcc.org/html/congress-what.aspx
was launched last fall to expose the true statistics
http://www.uswcc.org/html/congress-why.aspx
This led to the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce to declare the month of March as Women Making History Month as we launched the Women's Ownership Movement to advance the economic and leadership opportunities for women by employing a new strategy for change.
We invite you to join us as we unify the collective strength and influence of our community to take our rightful place as the most powerful economic force in America. We will review statistics and strategies, and work together to address key issues of importance to the community, including business and career growth, policy, affordable healthcare, and more.
Making History: The Roadmap to the Future - Central/South Florida <http://www.uswcc.org/absolutenm/templates/?a=116&amp;z=1
Introduction to the Women's Ownership Movement:
How the power of Women: Women to the Ownership Power is transforming the influence of women in America.
