Doing Well by Doing Good: Building Your Business While Helping the Community

Linda Wedeen will show us how to expand our concept of networking for business development.

Networking is an integral part of business development — but it is not only about joining associations and going to lunches or happy hours once a month. Learn how you can help your community, while building your business and feeing good about both.

Linda Wedeen is the senior vice president of strategic marketing for our Corporate Partner First State Bank N.M. She is responsible for all marketing and promotions for First State Bank, directing and coordinating the efforts of external and internal marketing, community involvement, and the Citizen Advisory Boards for New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona.

Linda is active on a number of Boards, including WESST Corp (Women’s Economic Self Sufficiency Team), the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, the Hispano Chamber of Commerce, the UNM Dean’s Advisory Board, and the United Way of Central New Mexico.

Prior to joining First State Bank, she practiced similar responsibilities concentrating on strategic planning and organization development as a partner with The Synergy Group Ltd. consulting firm and AT&T.

Linda received a bachelor’s degree in education from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a master’s degree in organizational development from the University of Phoenix.
