Introducing CAMEOnetwork.org
CAMEO is proud to announce our newly redesigned website and domain name —CAMEOnetwork.org.
Our new website offers a clear message of who we are, what we do, and the value that we provide for our members. All the CAMEO content and resources you know and love are still there, and are easier to navigate. We changed the domain to more accurately reflect who we are – the network that supports underserved entrepreneurs.
Please note that our email addresses have also changed, so make sure to update your Contacts and Safe Sender list. Email going to microbiz.org will be forwarded.
Faces of Entrepreneurship Nominations Are Open!
Last year, Andrew McDowell of With Love Market & Cafe and Alicia Villanueva of Alicia’s Tamales Los Mayas won the Faces of Entrepreneurship Award, and shared their stories with us at our Annual Member Meeting.
This year, it could be your client! Nominate your clients with inspiring success stories for the award, which this year will be presented at our 25th Anniversary Celebration. Winners will be selected based on the following criteria: type of business, region, demonstrated growth and job creation, and contributions to their community.
Nominate your businesses by Friday, October 25, 2019.
