I want to recognize Ashley L. Young "ALY"

I just saw the Retail Merchants event she posted, Steps to Business Ownership Seminar. This is a good and meaningful event. The VCN leadership is actually evolving some of our goals to include people who have jobs as well. The VCN premise is networking and the member profile questions have been tweaked to this end. We are looking for meaningful ways to keep this group viable in light of the fact that more and more people are getting jobs. Our thought is that having a strong network outside of current employment, friends and family is and will always be important.

The retail merchants association event that ALY has organized is a great event for people to attend regardless of their employment status. I hope other organizers follow her lead.
