WEB in the News . . .
On August 23, 2008, the Baltimore Examiner featured
WEB CEO Joanne Saltzberg in its continuing CREDO
column, a series that highlights people and
organizations changing Baltimore for the better.
“The reason I’m so committed to micro-enterprise and
to WEB is because it’s a practical, cost-effective and
measurable way to boost women’s income. And when
you boost women’s income, you boost her family and
community from poverty or near-poverty to some kind of
economic stability. When a woman pulls herself up, her
family gets pulled up as well.” Read more from the
Examiner interview.
