IBM Catalyst Grant
On June 15, 2011, WEDC partnered with IBM to present “Big Business Meets Small Business.” IBM Senior Vice President Ginni Rometty presented a keynote speech, which was followed by IBM volunteers mentoring more than 100 WEDC clients in IT, finance, sales, marketing, planning, operations, social media and legal issues. A highlight of the event was when Ms. Rometty presented WEDC’s Executive Director, Anne Janiak, with an IBM Catalyst Grant for $10,000.
