TGIF

Logo I developed for the New Orleans local hire initiative. 
Most people look forward to Fridays because its the official start of the weekend, typically a chill day to wrap up the week. However, in the New Orleans Office of Supplier Diversity we take our Friday's very seriously. Two weeks in a row, Fridays have resulted in the start of new, time sensitive projects.  Last week it was crafting a presentation on a First Source local hiring initiative for city resident, and this week its planning for an Urban Entrepreneurship Forum with the White House. 


Me hard at work
New Orleans has been selected to host the second summit on Urban Entrepreneurship on July 20, 2011. President Barack Obama has recognized the critical role that entrepreneurship has played in creating jobs and economic opportunity and has committed his administration to creating public-private partnerships to support entrepreneurs. As part of this plan the White House Office of Pubic Engagement and Domestic Policy Council are engaging in urban entrepreneurship summits in select cities. The first was hosted in Newark, NJ at Rutgers Business School on June 6, 2011. 


So I expect this week to be extremely busy for our office. More details come.
