Event Details

Cash is the life source of every business. If you manage it well, your business will remain financially healthy; if it’s not managed well, the diagnosis will be grim. After 10 years of serving as an Outsourced CFO to small- and mid-sized businesses, I have helped entrepreneurs get clear on their current cash position, identify potential shortfalls and create a plan to avoid that cash shortfall.

At this month’s Lunch and Learn, Tricia Taitt will walk you through a process and a sample cash flow worksheet so you’ll feel a sense of control and know where you stand week-to-week. Register to attend and get the Cash Flow Worksheet ahead of time so you can practice alongside her during the Lunch and Learn call.

About the presenter:

The Art of Money Matters is led by its President and Chief Financial Officer, Tricia M Taitt, who has a strong track record of managing and improving the financial operations of growth-oriented, small to mid sized companies in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors. Ms. Taitt is adept at helping senior leaders decode the numbers so that they can better understand their business and make strategic decisions more confidently.

After spending eight years on Wall Street as an equity markets sales specialist and corporate finance manager at industry powerhouses such as Merrill Lynch and Citigroup, Ms. Taitt realized that her core finance and accounting skills were highly transferrable to small and mid sized companies, which is where she could make a bigger and more personally rewarding impact. With this inspiration, Ms. Taitt started offering her financial consulting services and officially formed The Art of Money Matters, in 2014

Ms. Taitt holds an M.B.A. from The Fuqua School of Business of Duke University, and a B.S. in Economics with Finance concentration from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Event Details

We all know that video marketing is crucial to every business these days. Whether you have a product or a service, your client and customer is more likely to watch a video rather than read a long pdf. But tackling the world of video can appear to be a big task. Should I hire a professional spend a lot of dollars and hope to see returns or should I make it myself. If so, where should I begin? How can I use video to tell my brand story more effectively?

All these are valid questions and we have the answers, and more!

At the end of this session, you will

1) be equipped to produce a brand video

2) know how to create your brand’s visual story

3) develop a new way of employing video into your marketing strategy

Event Details

This year marks the 45^th anniversary of NAWBO and the centennial anniversary of the 19th Amendment, a woman’s right to vote. It’s the perfect opportunity for women business owners to spread the word about our 2020 Public Policy Agenda.

We’ll be walking the steps of the nation’s capital and discussing our three pillars of importance.

Voter Registration: Getting women registered and out to vote. As a women’s business organization, NAWBO believes there is no time like the present to fulfill our civic duty and cast a ballot asserting our constitutional right to vote. If NAWBO members would like to move positive bipartisan business policy forward, we must elect policymakers with our ideals, and the first step is casting our ballots.
Census Participation: Through a robust data set, business owners can make better decisions about scaling their business into the next decade by seeing where populations are expanding, specific locations to open new stores, regions to grow business operations, and which products and services to offer. In addition, this effort is the basis for future policy decisions as the data provides a landscape to start economic policy discussions. With NAWBO’s support of the 2020 Census and by increasing our outreach efforts to encourage our communities to participate, we can help ensure a complete and accurate count.
Business Succession Planning and Retirement: In the 2019 NAWBO Membership Survey, 67% of NAWBO members surveyed stated that they are saving for retirement; however, 58% have not done any succession planning for their business. Policymakers must understand the pitfalls when it comes to retirement and business succession planning for businesses and find ways to ensure that women are just as prepared to enter the workforce as they are to exit the workforce.

Prior to walking the halls of Congress, on June 1, 2020, NAWBO members will have a half day opportunity to receive valuable training to help make sure their meetings are met with results. We will explain how to start a dialogue about the three pillars, what are some sample questions to engage members and their staff, and how to get the new to advocacy jitters out of your system!

Then, on June 2, 2020, we will meet with key leaders from both political parties and provide NAWBO members the opportunity to start or strengthen their connections with the people elected and appointed in the nation’s capital.
