Happy 2009 from The BizWorld Foundation!

Hi! I'm April Bond, Education Outreach Manager here at The BizWorld Foundation. I come to this position with ten years of experience in Education, the past three as a fifth grade teacher. Oh, how I wish I knew about these programs when I was in the classroom! As many of you know, there aren't many things that can engage an entire group of kids for any length of time these days, but if you've seen our programs in action, you know the magic that they can inspire :) I'm excited about the great start we've already had to this new year and believe that this is going to be one of our busiest yet. With the current state of the economy, we all know how important it is for our students to be financially responsible and that begins with us! At our office here in San Francisco, our team is busy planning BizWorld & BizWiz camps, teacher trainings and events, and preparing to dive into a full conference schedule in just a few weeks. Our first three stops outside of San Francisco are Anaheim (CAG), Chicago (NAIS) and New York (Celebration of Teaching and Learning). If you are going to be attending any of these conferences, please come by our booth and say hello! Or better yet, send me an email to find out about professional opportunities to share your BizWorld and BizWiz experiences with other conference attendees. I can be reached by email at april.bond@bizworld.org or on our office phone at 415-503-5880. Looking forward meeting many of you soon!!
