We Salute You, NWEN Volunteers!
Being 1 of the 2 employees here at NWEN, I have to give a much needed props to our Board members, Committee members and volunteers. Without you, my job as the events and programs manager wouldn’t exist… as Rebecca and I would have lost our minds by now. NWEN plans to host 65 events in 2010, we know it is a big stretch, but we are geared up, ready and we have a team of committees on board to make sure our successes reach new heights in the organization. This last month we had a wonderful turnout for events and we have over sold all of our eIQ’s thus far.
Just to share a personal experience of the strong community we have, this past week my computer and the NWEN website was infected with a virus. And without hesitation, Mike Davis (a current NWEN board member) dropped what he was doing to make sure we didn’t lose anything. With his hard work and dedication my computer and the website were saved and we didn’t miss a beat.
Our volunteers on the NWEN committees are such a strong link to making our events so successful! Helping to fuel the speakers needed for the topics that our community of entrepreneurs are requesting to hear. We also have a number of volunteers that help out at our community events. I just have to say “Thank you!” You really help to make my job run a lot smoother. Setting up for the breakfast and running the registration would be very difficult to do all on my own. All of the volunteers are members of NWEN, the committee and volunteering gives them the chance to get their hands dirty working first hand on events.
I have dedicated a special page on the our website to our Northwest Entrepreneur Network volunteer committee members, to see, click here. If you would like to view the hard working Board members of NWEN, click here.
Thanks again to everyone who strives to make NWEN what is it and what it will become! We look forward to seeing what 2010 brings!
