  Zoom Luncheon, Partner Event — Angela Engle from WBDC Will Discuss the Blue Stream Initiative
  

  Join Us Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at 11:30 am for our monthly Zoom meeting, Free for members and non-members.
       Angela Engle from the WBDC (Women's Business Development Council) will talk about the various programs and services provided by the organization.
       Launched earlier this year, the innovative Blue Steam program is a multi-phase project offered by WBDC in conjunction with CTNext and the Thames River Innovation Place (TRIP) that offers a customized curriculum catered to individuals that are mobile due to being a trailing spouse.
       The Blue Stream program helps to support entrepreneurial ambitions of those who relocate and for whom traditional jobs do not provide an effective professional trajectory by offering group training sessions and individualized coaching led by WBDC business advisors, as well as microgrant programs to invest in business creation and capital necessities. Current clients include spouses of service members and employees of the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, and General Dynamics.
