• On the Road: RAINY DAY BUT BRIGHT SPIRITS

  It was a rainy day in St. Paul, MN, on Tuesday, but that did not dampen the spirits of the delegates there for the Republican National Convention. According to weather reports, the rain was ironically residue from Hurricane Gustav which hit the Gulf Coast...

• On the Road: PREPARING FOR REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

  Hurricane Gustav is obviously overtaking the news, rightfully so. The Republicans have cut back on their events today (Monday) and the schedule will be determined day by day. WIPP is going ahead with our meeting today. I saw that Cindy McCain has arrived...

• On the Road: From the Floor - SALUTE TO WOMEN’S BUSINESS LEADERSHIP

  The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBE) and Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) hosted a tea in AT&T’s meeting suite at Brit’s Pub in Minneapolis. The tea was to “celebrate our leaders who support U.S. competitiveness, innovation...

• On the Road: From the Floor - THE SHOW GOES ON

  The Republican Convention started on Monday in St. Paul but was scaled back to only an afternoon event due to Hurricane Gustav. Our WIPP event was from 2-4 p.m. and the Convention was 2-5 p.m. so we did not make any Convention activities. The delegates...

• On the Road: ON MY WAY TO THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

  The WIPP contingent flew out of Denver to Minneapolis. There were a lot of media on our flights (as most attendees go to one convention or the other, not both). We’ve got the weekend to catch up on our other work before we start up again. Of course, the...

• On the Road: From INVESCO FIELD

  It’s hard to even begin writing about the last day of the Democratic Convention. Presidential nominee Barack Obama (we can now drop “presumptive”) spoke to me and 84,999 others at the Invesco Stadium in Denver. That speech was well-covered so I won’t...

• On the Road: From the Floor - LAST DAY OF DEM CONVENTION

  I attended the Women’s Caucus meeting on Thursday morning. It was great to hear so many women speak who are in public office. The highlight of the morning was Michelle Obama’s speech. Only one speaker mentioned women as a voting bloc—and small business...

• From the Floor of The Presidential Conventions

  IN THE BUILDING, BUT NO SEAT Another day at the Convention, another evening of fantastic speeches, but no mention of small business at all. Yesterday I wrote that “at least I was in the building.” I should learn to be more specific. Last night I got into...

• On the Road: From the Floor of The Democratic Presidential Convention

  THE ENTHUSIASM AND OPTIMISM OF THE ENTREPRENEUR Besides the mentions of small business being few and far between, the primary thing missing for me was the enthusiasm and optimism of the entrepreneur. Speaker after speaker talked about our energy crisis...

• On the Road: From the Floor of the Presidential Conventions

  Where Oh Where is Small Business? The Pepsi Center was packed last night. I felt so lucky to have a credential to be there. And I felt lucky that I got there early enough to get a seat! Yes, you get a better view by watching on TV. I hear people say the...

• From the Floor: Reports from The Presidential Conventions

  I can’t help but feel a bit of déjà vu here in Denver at the Democratic National Convention. I was in Beijing for the first 10 days of the Olympics earlier this month. There are a lot of similarities. The different venues (I must have walked miles yesterday...

• From the Floor: Reports from The Presidential Conventions

  Some women won't vote this year because - why, exactly? We have carpool duties? We have to get to work? Our vote doesn't matter? It's raining? Read this story and maybe you'll change your mind: The women were innocent and defenseless....

• From the Floor: Reports from The Presidential Conventions

  My overall goal for my business, and my passion, is to help people let their voices be heard. I particularly (or at least most often) work with women. Men tend to be more visible. When you think of powerful women, Hillary and Oprah may be the top two...
