What inspires you to support the work of AnewAmerica, as a Board member and as a donor?
As a Board Member and donor, I am proud of AnewAmerica's commitment to empower individuals to take charge and build their own financial business and personal wealth in a manner that also emphasizes social responsibility.

What do you view is the importance of AnewAmerica’s work? How does AnewAmerica’s work to empower new Americans to lift themselves and their families from poverty fit within your values?
AnewAmerica's work is important because it gives entrepreneurs the tools to build businesses that not only personally benefit them, but also strengthen the vitality of the economic growth and development of the greater community at large.  This coincides with my belief in giving individuals access to the education and tools that can help them build and improve their economic opportunities and thus create a stronger economic community at large.  AnewAmerica gives individuals the tools to build themselves, their families and the overall community.

What do you view is the role or importance of giving during these challenging economic times?
During these challenging economic times that a great number of people are experiencing, support at all levels becomes vitally important for organizations like AnewAmerica.  Because of the nature of AnewAmerica’s work, being a donor is, in effect, participating in the economic turn around, since each successful new business will lead to new employment opportunities for others.
