The chapter has been awarded Distinguished Service Awards at the Regional level for our Financial Fortitude Programs centered on presenting workshops and access to resources for entrepreneurs interested in small business and/or non-profit development and for our projects to promote awareness and advocacy for fraud prevention.

Our goals are to help entrepreneurs understand the process of business development and to provide resources through engagement with community partners. Other workshops focus on financial issues such as home ownership and foreclosure, savings, investment and management, and providing information for startups and entrepreneurs.
