Smart Meetings’ Post

In my young professional career, both facilities I have managed have been developed for different ventures than the services they offer today. It’s been invaluable for me to see these buildings & how they transformed themselves over time. In most cases, the story is more valuable than the facility itself. Is your business taking full advantage of their story? What’s selling today, may not sell tomorrow! The best business models are those that are agile and understand when they need to pivot, enhance, or change altogether. #ThinkForwardOrGetLeftBehind

Learning that their national conference is coming up next month, I went to the WIPP website to get updates on the great services they provide and ran across their Action Statement. I wanted to share it with those who may not be familiar with the organization. It's important to note that as women business owners, we have this connection. https://lnkd.in/gJiDiJGh WIPP educates women business owners on economic policy and current legislative initiatives that impact business health and growth. Through its programming, they learn the tools necessary to become advocates on issues that cover a broad range of current legislation and policies, such as affordable health care, federal procurement policies, tax policies, energy, telecom, etc. Matters which are not directly relevant to the economic health and well-being of constituent businesses are not part of WIPP's agenda. Its Government Relations team has a full-time presence on Capitol Hill and conveys the direction and intent of WIPP's membership to members of Congress.   WIPP has within its ranks Republicans, Democrats and Independents, liberals, conservatives and every variety of opinion. The membership is surveyed on a regular basis to determine which issues are priority issues, and members work together in issue-centric committees to research and advise WIPP's Government Relations team.   WIPP activities specifically state that the organization does not spend any funds for intervention in political campaigns of any kind. Its primary activity is gathering information and disseminating it to members, tracking and reviewing legislation concerning small business owners, and informing its members of legislators' positions on issues.
