WEB Graduation 2010: Reuniting WEB alumni and Launching New Ventures

WEB will bring its 20th year of service to a close with another inspiring WEB graduation, honoring 100 of our newest graduates on Tuesday, June 22 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm at the Jim Rouse Visionary Center of the American Visionary Arts Museum. To mark the occasion, WEB has invited alumni to present a showcase of their businesses demonstrating the strength and diversity WEB grads bring to our community. If you're a WEB alumni and interested in participating in the showcase, please contact Allison Pomroy via e-mail or phone 410.727.4921, extension 10.

As WEB CEO, Joanne Saltzberg, puts it, "We're proud of the contributions our graduate businesses make to the State of Maryland. These men and women are the real fuel for America's economic engine. I think our newest grads will be inspired by the showcase and everyone will be moved by our newest grads' accomplishments. It's a fitting way to end our 20th anniversary year."

With our grads, WEB will be launching a new venture of its own at the graduation event – WEBnetWorks. Developed to continue WEB's support of the small business community, this membership organization will provide entrepreneurs networking and continuing education opportunities, discounted meeting and program fees, and connections to seasoned business advice. Learn more about it at Graduation 2010 or contact Roberta Creeron via e-mail or phone 410.727.4921, extension 16.

Refreshments will be served before and after the 6:30 pm graduation ceremony. This event is free and open to the public; however, registration is required.
