Two Business-Building Events Coming to Albuquerque
There are two upcoming events happening in New Mexico that could support you in building your business and propelling it to the next level. Your business is not too small or too large to take advantage of the programs that are out there. There’s possible money and support available to you if want to pursue it. Please check out the following. It could make a difference in your business and your bottom line.
Barbara Dawson, President Elect, NAWBO-NNM
Contact fellow NAWBO member, Joan Schleuter (505) 899-3353, or email for more information.
The goal of the SBA Emerging 200 initiative is to identify 200 inner-city businesses across the country that show a high potential for growth—and to provide them the network, resources and motivation required to build a sustainable business of size and scale within a designated inner-city geographic location. SBA is increasing outreach to areas historically challenged by high levels of unemployment and poverty. Bolstering entrepreneurial success in these areas will generate new jobs, attract investment, and provide a more sustainable economic base in distressed areas. Current efforts also include a program to improve access to credit to small businesses located in rural areas. The SBA Emerging 200 initiative will enable the participating small businesses to engage in an intensive curriculum focused on developing a winning, expansion strategy for their business, including options for capital access and contracting. Participants also will have the opportunity to work with experienced mentors, attend workshops and develop connections with their peers, city leaders, and financial community.
The following cities have been selected to participate in the SBA Emerging 200 initiative for 2008:
Boston, MA; Baltimore, MD; Philadelphia, PA; Atlanta, GA; New Orleans, LA; Memphis, TN; Chicago, Il; Des Moines, IA; Milwaukee, WI; Albuquerque, NM; and Oakland, CA.
SBA Emerging 200 training is scheduled to begin in June 2008. Interested parties in each city should contact their local SBA office or send an email .
Contact fellow NAWBO member Deb Steg, (505) 920-7141, or email, for more information.

Did You Know…
We are always looking for educational articles from our members. If you have a topic that might be of interest to our readers, we encourage you to consider writing an article for our newsletter to increase our members’ awareness. We’re always looking for good-quality educational content with the member being the “expert” on the subject. To see what tone we’re looking for, look at:
- Dr. Janice Moranz’ article in the April newsletter
- Lisa Adkin’s article in the March newsletter
- Julie Epling’s article in the February newsletter
Please email your article to the editor, Donna Luke. She will publish it as space permits.

Renewing Members – Update
With the switch to the new national online system, we no longer have access to a report that tells us who has renewed directly with national, nor are we CCd on any acknowledgment they send to renewing members. So we apologize for not being timely on recognizing the many outstanding women who have renewed their membership with our chapter.
Mary Bresnahan said it nicely in response to a recent inquiry from a member: “We have been a bit behind the eight ball with this new system. It is slowly getting better. We are thrilled that you have renewed & will continue to hang out with us.”
Here are the renewing members who were reported to us during March and April:
