  • Getting Your Share of Government Grants and Contracts
  •  
    Listen to Eddy
     
     
    Eddy Robles Badrina is the Director of the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. In this capacity, he is charged with coordinating all federal activities under the Executive Order 13339 entitled “Increasing Economic Opportunity And Business Participation Of Asian Americans And Pacific Islanders.” The purpose of Executive Order is to provide equal economic opportunities for full participation of Asian American and Pacific Islander businesses in our free market economy where they may be underserved and thus improving the quality of life for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs). Mr. Badrina is also responsible for working with the White House and the President's Advisory Commission on AAPIs to advise the President on the needs and concerns of this population.

    Previously, Mr. Badrina served as Senior Associate at the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. Specializing in business development and economic growth, he educated and assisted U.S. businesses as they prepared to invest in foreign emerging markets.

     

    The son of Filipino immigrants, Mr. Badrina was born and raised in Houston, Texas. He graduated from Texas A&M University with a B.S. in psychology; Master’s Degree in Public Service and Administration from the George Bush School of Government, and also served as a Bush School Fellow in the Capitol Hill office of Rep. Kevin Brady.

     


    Would you believe there are millions of government dollars that have to be returned each year because nobody has applied for these monies? This is especially true of the monies allocated for Hispanic, Asia-Pacific, African - Americans, small business owners, veterans, women (how many of our women colleagues know about women set-asides?), and other minorities. Eddy Badrina will help you navigate the seemingly complicated but actually very simple process of claiming what the government has allocated for you. We have also invited other Grant Officers from other branches of the government.

    There are monies and resources galore which have been generously allocated to minorities, including women, so that you can compete in the marketplace but if you do not know about it, it does you no good, does it? Be smart. Find out how and get your share - NOW!!

    networking: the JOY OF CONNECTING
    Listen to Bonnie
    Bonnie Ross-Parker is a multi-dimensional businesswoman/entrepreneur with a background in education, franchise development, publishing, mentorship, network marketing and community development. She combines vision with her unique set of skills. Formerly the Associate Publisher of The Gazette Newspaper/Atlanta, she focuses her energies on supporting women. Bonnie is a graduate of George Washington University and received her Master’s Degree in Humanistic Studies from Marywood College, Scranton, PA. Several of her articles on owning one’s own business and entrepreneurship have appeared in publications including: Wealth Building, Home Business Magazine, Business to Business and Entrepreneurs’s Business Start-Ups.

    In 2002 Bonnie received the prestigious Athena Award. Currently she serves on the Atlanta Advisory Board for the Women’s Leadership Exchange ~ a New York based organization offering conferences in cities nationwide. She is the author of “Walk In My Boots” - The Joy of Connecting. She is frequently referred to as America’s Connection Diva.
    Do you enjoy the business networking and people connecting activities you do each week to build your business, generate referrals, and increase sales? Or, are you someone who sees networking – or “connecting,” as I call it, as a “necessary evil?” If you do, you’re not alone. As a woman business owner, I’ve done my fair share of Chamber of Commerce meetings, lead-share breakfasts and luncheons, and after work get-togethers. I used to find networking exhausting. My results were usually “hit and miss.”

    Then, something interesting happened. Over the years, I made a significant discovery about connecting with other people. In fact, I found the key to connecting. When I did, I used that key to open a door to a whole new way of networking! To my delight and joy, my networking improved, and so did my results!
     
    In this session, you will learn:
    How you can attract people & build lasting & lucrative relationships
    How to leverage your relationships to increase your network
    How you can stand out in the crowd
    Why listening is so much better than talking!
