As some of you know, WWC selected me to be one of their Champions for my volunteer work with the organization. I participated (as a student) in many of their free courses: Financing Your Future, Assertiveness Training, Creating Your Future (a skills and values clarification workshop), Basics of Business, and New Ventures (a 60 hour course on writing a business plan). These were--and are--invaluable courses that definitely helped me define who I am as a business person.
Along with the continued support I receive from WWC, I have been invited to speak to several WWC classes as a graduate. Most recently, Liz Grandmaison and I did a workshop for the current New Ventures class on using the internet for marketing. It was a sheer delight!
About a year ago, I also co-taught a class with Jane Searles, Regional Manager of WWC. The five week class was called "Steps to Economic Success," and, though I felt my teaching skills were a bit rusty, I enjoyed watching from a teacher's perspective the growth and changes in those who participated in the course.
And, tonight, WWC celebrates 30 years of providing support to Maine's communities. Ironically, as the celebration moves forward, WWC is actually going through some painful budgetary cuts. Like all of us, they are feeling the strain of our struggling economy. So, in our small way, the organizers of the WWC event have made pies and will be asking for a donation at tonight's event.
Here is just a sampling:
