WBCNA Needs
Your Help!
The
SBA Women's Business Center (WBC) Program is in danger of being
eliminated in Washington. That is where the WBCNA gets a majority
of its funding.
Please take a moment to contact your elected officials to ask them to
continue to fund the WBC program. Below is a draft of what you
might say (please feel free to change as so desired). The best
way to get a politician to listen, is to have a lot of people contact
him/her.
You can send the letter below electronically to
Alabama elected officials (just copy and paste). Here is the link
to their websites:
U.S.
House of Representatives: http://www.house.gov/representatives/#state_al
U.S. Senate:

I
am a small business owner and a client of a Women's Business Center
(WBC) in Huntsville, Alabama. I am writing today to ask that you
continue funding the SBA WBC program.
I have been able to take advantage of the Center's counseling and
training which helped me start and grow my business. I find that
they genuinely care about me and my success and they want to be there
for me every step of the way. I can't get that kind of support
and nurturing anywhere else.
Continued funding of WBCs fuels our community's economy and your
constituents who utilize the WBC services every day. Investing in
WBCs is an important part of our national economic strategy because I
know that small businesses are where new jobs are created.
Please support full funding for Women's Business Centers now
and in future years.
