EMPOWERING AFTER JOB LOSS
Two women in the New York area are doing their part to help those who have suffered a recent job loss through their recent endeavor Re-Branding You Conference NYC 2009. The full-day program was created by Pat Ahaesy and Ny Whitaker for unemployed or transitioning New York City professionals. The event will include: valuable information on emerging industries locally and nationally, the newest methods to network your way into a job, professional coaching, innovative ideas for starting a small business in today's economy, access to local resources, and opportunities to engage with conference sponsors.
Small Businesses are the backbone of the American Economy. They represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms and employ half of all private sector workers (Source: U.S. SBA Office of Advocacy). "As small business owners, educators, and entrepreneurs, Pat and I wanted to create a vehicle that gives people the relevant tools they need to re-gain employment now," explained Ny Whitaker, one half of the Re-Branding You Team. "Partnering with another small business gives you the power and resources of a big business," said Pat Ahaesy. In essence, the two companies re-invented themselves and their brands in an effort to uplift their fellow New Yorkers.
The Re-Branding You Conference will be held on Tuesday, March 31, 2009 at the Lighthouse Executive Conference Center at 111 East 59th Street, featuring speakers from the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies, NYC Business Solutions, Five O'Clock Club, Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, Freelancers Union, various authors, journalists, thought-leaders, and more!
