Small Business Bill Cannot Wait - Voice Your Support, This Bill MUST Pass!
1:59 PM August 27, 2010
Before Congress went on August recess, important small business legislation was left unresolved. Despite WIPP's efforts to rally support for the bill, Democrats and Republicans were unable to agree on the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 (H.R. 5297) before the break.

Healthcare: Policy, Trends, & Opportunities Event a Success!
4:52 PM June 15, 2010
WIPP and the California Black Camber of Commerce co-hosted an event in San Francisco, entitled Healthcare: Policy, Trends, & Opportunities. The event was sponsored by Pfizer, and I am happy to report that it was a resounding success. If you were not able to attend, you missed out on a tremendous event. Members of our audience included representatives from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Our panel of speakers represented many areas of healthcare, but each of them echoed the same concept: small businesses can and should take advantage of these changes.
We heard a few on the panel speak to business opportunities that lie in security, technological development, biomedical, and management. Since these areas are constantly evolving with healthcare policy changes, small businesses who enter these fields can take advantage of this growing and dynamic field.
To those who were not able to attend, be on the lookout for future events! Our next event will be in Seattle, Washington on July 8. Information and registration for that event can be found by clicking here.
Plan Ahead for Tax Credits

Whether or not you supported the overall health care reform law that was just enacted, you should know what the new law says. We have prepared an easy to understand analysis on www.wipp.org. Take a look. You should know the implications for your business.
There are tax credits that you should be aware of and new state/ multi-state pools that begin in 2014. Elimination of pre-existing conditions will affect employee behavior. If you plan ahead like I do, you should know the facts.

With the US House of Representatives set to vote on Healthcare on Sunday, it is imperative that we make sure the voice of women small business owners is heard! Please complete the following ACTION ALERT now, urging members of Congress to act on much needed small business healthcare reforms.
TAKE ACTION NOW by writing your Congressional Representatives today to ask for their support on key healthcare reforms that will greatly benefit small business.
While the future of comprehensive healthcare reform is uncertain, small business owners need access to more insurance plans and better insurance rates. We are asking Congress to move forward with reforms small businesses need even if it does not move forward with a major overhaul of the healthcare system.
