Women’s Advocacy Group Reconnect

Ask yourself three questions, where do you go to find out…

1. How can woman-owned businesses make Federal representatives jobs easier?

2. How can Federal representatives assist small businesses with their growth?

3. How can Federal representatives and woman-owned businesses work as te
am in addressing and communicating advocacy issues and legislation?

The women’s Advocacy Group was formed a number of years ago to educate Federal representatives and woman-owned businesses to better understand each other’s needs.

After a year hiatus, the group was brought together again through the Small Business Administration because of the demand on both sides. 6 government agencies and 3 industry representatives were present for the initial kick-off meeting last week and already the momentum is growing.

We will be having our next meeting:

  • August 11, 2009
  • 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
  • Location TBD (Arlington area.)
Stay tuned for the location, it’s all dependent on the size of the group.

Voulenteer Fairfax Awards!

Our community is a better place because of volunteers. The LeapFrog Solutions team were proud to have the opportunity to honor some of the communities best supporters at Volunteer Fairfax's annual county-wide volunteer recognition event, attended by more than 550 community members.

The 17th annual Fairfax County Volunteer Service Awards was held on Friday, April 24, 2009. Where individuals and groups were nominated in one of 10 competitive categories and four non-competitive categories. All nominees receive a complimentary invitation to the event.

The "Benchmark Award” is a noncompetitive category that seeks to recognize those individuals whose dedicated volunteer efforts help keep nonprofits running. Youth who have completed at least 100 hours of volunteer service will be honored at the events. Adult nominees should be an individual who has given at least 250, 500 or 1,000 hours of service to a particular agency in calendar year 2008.

Established in 1993, the Fa
irfax County Volunteer Service Awards serve as a community-wide celebration of volunteerism. The Awards honor individuals, groups and organizations that have given outstanding volunteer service through a broad range of activities and programs. Over the last 16 years, Volunteer Fairfax has recognized more than 1,698 individuals for their commitment to the community.
