Are you seeking top talent for your organization? ADD STAFF, Inc. is paramount for recruiting top talent in administrative, accounting, executive, and technical opportunities in Colorado Springs. The organization was founded in 1984 by Cari Shaffer, and has employed over 35,000 people in direct hire, temporary, and temp-to-hire jobs. The in-house team of 19 staffers has over 300 years of combined human resource and/or staffing experience as well as 145 years of combined experience working at ADD STAFF. The entire staff dedicates all efforts toward building long-lasting relationships, and taking care of the staffing needs within our community. Jayme Holligan joined ADD STAFF in 2002 and became a member of EWI the same year. She was born and raised in Colorado Springs, attended Palmer High School, and was an active member of the National Charity League. She obtained a Bachelor of Science in Journalism with an emphasis in Advertising from the University of Colorado at Boulder. During college she was selected for the College Program Internship at Disney World in Orlando. This opportunity allowed Jayme to learn the principles of customer service that she still applies to her current position today. After graduating from CU, Jayme worked as an Account Coordinator for Cramer-Krasselt, an advertising agency in Orlando. Jayme found advertising fascinating, but realized that her passion was human resources and connecting with people. Jayme decided to move back to Colorado, and it was then she found her Staffing Manager opportunity with ADD STAFF. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with family, traveling, and playing tennis. Aside from EWI, Jayme is a member of the Southern Colorado Women’s Chamber of Commerce where she writes monthly member bios for their newsletters, serves as Secretary on the Board of Directors for the Colorado Springs Human Resources Association, and participates in the annual relays for both the American Cancer Society and American Heart Association. Jayme truly enjoys the fellowship and professional development opportunities that EWI has to offer. She is thrilled to surround herself with the dynamic women in our local chapter. Jayme can be reached at ADD STAFF 719-528-8888 or jayme@addstaffinc.com |

Hello, Executive women! I hope you all enjoyed the Oct. meeting as much as I did. Kathleen Gage was very inspirational. Her story and her words of wisdom are a good way to reinforce us as we begin facing the craziness of the upcoming holiday season. Our attendance was 100% above our normal monthly meetings with non-member guests making up half the audience. Great exposure for EWI! This month, we have our Cavalcade of Firms, always a fun meeting. Feel free to bring lots of guests, as this is a great way to showcase what you do – and to let others see just who we are! This is a good networking meeting, so you will have time and opportunity to better get to know some of your fellow EWIs and what they do. Our Ways & Means committee is already working like mad on our golf tournament fundraiser for our scholarship programs. Please consider being a sponsor in some way for next June. We would like 100% participation from member firms, so let us know what you can do! And special thanks to Joan Saucerman (with help from Accent Photo) for producing the new hard print EWI directory! If you haven't gotten yours yet, pick one up at the Nov meeting! See you then. |

AnnouncementsChapter MeetingWednesday, November 8, 2006 Membership PostingsNone for November TestimonialI would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Sally Seidlitz at Accent Photo. Don and I needed new presentation folders and through many brainstorm meetings and proofs, they came up with a custom design that is unique for our company. They went above and beyond what they normally do for clients and we are very pleased. Thanks, again, Sally! - Dianne Crimble-Loper, Pass It On, Inc. EWI 5th Annual Scholastic Classic Golf Tournament
EWI members will be receiving a letter from the Ways and Means Committee early in November informing each of you about the fund raising we are doing this year through the 5th Annual Scholastic Classic Golf Tournament. We want to fund the golf tournament with 100% participation from our EWI member firms. We are looking to each EWI member to give your time, talent or treasure to this project. This can be done with funds donated for our different golf sponsorship levels (we are a 501 c 3 organization), forming golf teams, getting donations for door prizes, or serving on the Ways & Means (golf) Committee. EWI needs your help to make this 5th Golf Tournament a success! Our goal this year is to net $15,000 which will allow us to have 5 more scholarships for 2007-2008. This is huge endeavor and for such a wonderful cause…..furthering education and women! We are starting early this year and pushing eagerly to reach our goal. We need the EWI member firms to look at their 2007 budgets now before year-end and make a commitment to give to our golf tournament. If you are the boss, or you need to go to your manager, chief financial officer, whoever, please do it now to assist us in raising these dollars. For 23 years EWI has helped so many adults achieve their goals. As women we are powerful and can accomplish great things when we work together. Please help us continue this tradition and make this 5th year for golf tournament an incredible success. We need your help! Thank you.

The
Ways and Means Committee is working diligently on a plan to raise
money for our scholarship programs for 2007. Having a golf
tournament is a huge way to raise a lot or money in one event instead
of doing several smaller events throughout the year. The Committee
is going forward with the 5th Annual Scholastic Classic
Golf Tournament. It will be held on Friday June 1, 2007 at
Kissing Camels Golf Club. We have had several committee meetings
already to set up our plan to begin to get sponsorship dollars to
pay for the golf tournament and raise enough to fund several scholarships.
Our chapter's mission and goal is to raise funds to assist transitional
adults in obtaining a college degree, finish their college education
or assist our membership the opportunity to attend the EWI Academy
of Leadership, or the Certified Professional Leader’'s Online
Program.Last Month's Meeting

One of the greatest challenges in today's competitive market for any association is how to continually attract people to monthly meetings. Launching the first meeting of the fiscal year can be even more challenging. EWI Chapters are no exception to these challenges. Yet, some are finding great success in light of this sobering reality. On October 11, 2006 the EWI Colorado Springs Chapter successfully launched their first meeting to a capacity crowd under the leadership of 2006 – 2007 President, Kathy Wallace. They embarked on the coming year with flying colors with a 100% increase in attendance from previous meetings. With a combination of a dynamite speaker, timely topic, great location, and a very focused marketing campaign, the meeting’s success was evident from the start. Dianne Loper worked closely with featured speaker, Kathleen Gage, to assure Kathleen was well informed of the desired outcomes of the meeting. Publicity Chair, Beth Alexander, in partnership with Kathleen designed an aggressive publicity plan that included media releases, special website strategies, word of mouth, and email marketing messages that spanned a period of over two months. An added benefit of hiring Kathleen Gage is that not only is she an award winning keynote speaker, she is a highly recognized marketing expert within many industries. Kathleen spoke on The Law of Achievement, based on her best-selling book by the same name. Throughout her presentation she addressed areas of success, achievement, change and beliefs. Kathleen Gage is recognized for her wit, passion and ability to encourage people to take appropriate risks to fulfill their dreams. Congratulations to Colorado Springs EWI for a hugely successful event! |
