Test webinar:  Bank On It (Part 1) - Wanda Glez-Kras, Vice-President, Trustmark Bank

We connect our clients to the business world by offering training workshops.  Financial literacy workshops offer clients the tools for building wealth. In addition, the career/entrepreneur training workshops will be invaluable in providing the technical skills for those wanting to be self-employed. 

We will launch a program providing webinars for school districts and schools initially in Texas.  The program will be expanded to other states in the 2010-2011 school year.

Participating schools will be eligible to receive a free book from the President & CEO of Nouveau Connoisseurs Corporation (Nouveau) called Divas Doing Business: What the Guidebooks Don’t Tell You About Being a Woman Entrepreneur (foreword by Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman).
