Announcing a new program to help raise funds for NJAWBO's Women's Business Center: Printer Cartridge Recycling.  Any organization using a laser or inkjet printer can take part in this initiative.  Best of all, this program can create an opportunity for participating organizations to be recognized by their community for their environmentally and socially responsible actions at no cost to the organization. 
Please visit www.cecharity.com/wbc to take part in this program.

Women's Business Center courses are offered exclusively by the New Jersey Association of Women Business Owners (NJAWBO), with classes held throughout the state. Corporate, Federal, and State funding allows programs to be offered at an affordable cost to all participants.

With the Women's Business Center's array of practical, that's-just-the-kind-of-help-I-need offerings, it is easy to see how wide a net of success you can now cast for your business.  And how you can cast that net with a strong group of professional supporters and experts behind you.  That's the strength, the beauty, and the purpose of the Women's Business Center.

So call the Women's Business Center.  Classes and programs are extremely informative and affordable.  More importantly, NJAWBO and the WBC will provide the skills, resources, and networking opportunities to strengthen your business capabilities, and provide you with the insight to take your business wherever you want it to go.
