New Business Progress

I have made the following initial progress in formalizing my web design consulting business over the past 6 weeks:

Obtained an EIN number from the IRS, and discussed tax planning with my accountant

Registered my company and received a DBA Certification from the State of Maryland for the company trade name: “dcwebrevolution”

Applied for membership in the Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce (GGCC), attended a couple of Chamber events, and had some productive networking with Chamber members – a very professional and collaborative group!

I continue to fine-tune my website at dcwebrevolution.com, getting feedback from colleagues on site design, navigation and content – all with a view to a public site launch before the end of the year. Thanks all for your input to date!

Nonprofit Marketing Table Topics

On October 14 I participated as an expert panelist at a live webinar on Non-Profit Marketing Table Topics sponsored by Baltimore Techies for Good, Apex Systems and ClearEdge Marketing. Solutions. See this EventBrite link for program details. Hats off to Erica Woods for hosting and organizing this successful event!

My panelist role was to offer non-profits tips on Social Media Planning and Press Releases. I also enjoyed participating in other table topic sessions by using Remo virtual conferencing software. I found this software to be very user-friendly in hopping in and out of various sessions.

Stay tuned for my posting of other Baltimore Techies for Good events to provide tech tips to non-profits!
