Director's Corner:
Reflection from Tasha,
Executive Director
The Groundhog seeing his shadow did not stop us from springing forward with our great work!! February was a whir as we celebrated the kickoff of our 12-week program, Ready! Set! Launch!, formed several new partnerships, gained new counselors/coaches/volunteers, and cranked up our workshop activity for March. I want to acknowledge my team for their commitment to quality and focus on the community. Time and time again, they have stepped up to the plate to assist clients, and it shows! I often times ask my team "what's good, and what would make it even better if?" Well, each and every one of you make things better for us.
 
I look forward to some new and innovative initiatives soon, as we continue to be bold and intentional in our strategy and the work we are doing for our small business owners.

So, as we transition into March, let's do it with a focus on new beginnings!
