2006 in Review

During our trips east and west throughout 2006, women asked for some specific training and information, and we have been happy to have provided Experts to fulfill their needs. Some of the topics we held workshops on and did one- on- one counseling were:  

·          Marketing

·          Bookkeeping Essentials for Small to Medium Business Owners

·          An Overview of PARO’s Services, training and training referrals

·          Resources for Women…some in crisis, some needing social supports and some needing 
     professional and business related referrals and information.  

These sessions have, and will continue to provide a forum for valuable networking opportunities. PARO is in the process now of partnering with various organizations and groups like Business Women’s Networks in various communities in Northwestern Ontario, to provide or enhance more networking opportunities. If you know of any contacts, please contact us at info@paro.ca.

A FOLLOW UP TO THE MARKETING SESSIONS HELD IN DECEMBER  

We had an excellent response from women who participated in our telemarketing sessions last month, and wanted to pass along more information on the subject. http://www.cobsc.org/nwe as they expand this month and next on this important factor for your business success.

 Look at us NOW in 2007. We look forward to meeting you!
