ATW GREAT MINDS Program Sponsor for 2012

TI has again granted the ATW GREAT MINDS program another $5000 for 2012! Thanks to Diane Jolly and the other volunteers for coordinating the Dallas Children's Theater show and tour again this year.

The GREAT MINDS program bridges the gap between industry and school with the hope of influencing school-age girls to join math and science programs.

Congratulations to Wanda Gass!

Looking for a new job opportunity?

Debbie Mrazek (friend and supporter of ATW for many years), a sales guru who has a proven way to help people get a job, has just released a new eBook I NEED TO GET A JOB NOW. In it, she will show you exactly what it takes to get the job you need. She takes you step-by-step through a daily process that tells you exactly what to do each day. The program is so simple that anyone can follow it no matter what your background, no matter what type of job you are looking for. You can start where you are, do the steps and get a job – NOW.
