Hello friends and colleagues:

Hope your weeks have ended well!

Thank you to our partners at The State International Development Organization (SIDO) for organizing the call with EBW and the State Trade Directors as part of the roll out of The SHEconomy Project.  We have the opportunity to talk with 40 State trade directors about 2021 planning.  We are excited about the opportunity to stimulate our economy, rebuild communities and create jobs with women and diverse leaders by allocating a percentage of budget spend with qualified women led businesses identified by EBW.

Along those lines, The SHEconomy Project by EBW will be hosting a US Women’s State of the Union Call on 10/22 with iHEART Media — Next week, we will be hosting a call with representatives from various US State Governments in launching the SHEconomy Project—a movement aimed at instituting the necessary action to create more Social, Health and Economic impact for women.  We are getting governments, enterprises, distributors and influencers to #TeamUp with us to drive $1B+ worth of revenue back to diverse owned businesses.

If you haven’t already, we invite you to to JOIN the movement and sign the pledge for this successful and sustainable future.  You can sign the free pledge here: https://ebwdistributors.com/sheconomyproject/

Want to learn more about what the SHEconomy Project is? I will be hosting a virtual SHEconomy Project Town Hall on Tues, Oct 20 to share this inspired, motivating and empowering initiative that has been working behind the scenes to stimulate our economy, rebuild our cities, and create jobs.

Please come and join me for a 30 minute “Virtual Town Hall” meeting.  YOU MUST RSVP to attend by emailing pam@ebw2020.com.
