Free Webinar for Small Business Owners on How to Succeed in Federal Procurement through Subcontracting
Due to set aside requirements in federal procurement, small businesses are a valuable resource for large companies seeking federal contracts. Partnering with a large prime contractor also has its benefits for small businesses - including building past performance history, learning the ropes from more experienced contractors and accessing more contracting opportunities. According to an American Express OPEN survey, business owners who perform as subcontractors win 50 percent more contracts versus the average small business contractor.
To help small business owners learn how to market to prime contractors and perform effectively as a subcontractor, American Express OPEN and Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) are offering a free web tutorial on Wednesday, May 18. This one-hour session will teach small business owners:
· How to promote their unique value proposition within their industry and with government prime contractors
· The necessary credentials required of government contractors
· How to strengthen relationships with prime contractors to find new opportunities and build past performance for federal contracting
This educational webinar is part of the Give Me 5 program, a national program created by American Express OPEN and WIPP to help women business owners get a leg up on selling to the world’s largest customer: the U.S. government.

Girls Night Out at Applebee's
With crazy calendars and obligation overload, women are finding it tougher than ever to schedule a weekly Girl's Night Out. Now Applebee's is making it easy to plan time together with its "Girl's Night Out" customized invitation on Applebee's Facebook Fan Page.
Beginning today through June 5, the Applebee's Facebook Fan Page allows guests to send a GNO invite, with time, date, Applebee's location -- and even a personalized message. Not only is scheduling a breeze, but the new tool, lets Applebee's Facebook Fans keep track of events they're hosting, attending, or both.
According to a poll of women on Applebee's Facebook Fan page, only 9 percent get together weekly with friends, while 34 percent responded "Never ... get me a drink fast."
While getting together, guests can enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and great tastes of new Sizzling Smokehouse Chicken Stack and Sizzling Cajun Steak and Shrimp. And for a guilt-free GNO, Applebee's features six entrees from its Unbelievably Great Tasting and Under 550 Calories™ menu as well as SkinnyBee cocktails, lower calories versions of the Margarita, Mojito and Long Island Iced Tea.
"Applebee's is convinced that girls STILL want to have fun, so we're doing all we can to make it easier to have 'girl time' happen at Applebee's," said Becky Johnson, senior vice president, marketing and culinary for Applebee's Services, Inc.
Plus, Applebee's is hosting a GNO Photo Contest. Upload pics from your event and Applebee's Facebook Fans will select their favorite. The top three vote-getters each week for the next four weeks will receive a $50 Applebee's Gift Card.
Guests are encouraged to contact their favorite Applebee's for additional Girl's Night Out activities planned at their neighborhood.

Inaugural ‘Skin for Life’ Event
Did you know?
May is Melanoma Awareness Month – and sun season means sunscreen season!
It’s not surprising that Melanoma Awareness Month coincides with the spring/summer season, and the height of sun exposure. Although we are all ready to enjoy the summer sun, we should also be aware of a few sun-related health risks:
- One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. (Source: Robinson JK. Sun Exposure, Sun Protection, and Vitamin D. JAMA 2005; 294: 1541-43.2)
- Melanoma is the most common form of cancer among women 25-29 years old and the second most common form in adolescents and young adults, ages 15 – 29. (Source: Cancer Epidemiology in Older Adolescents & Young Adults. SEER AYA Monograph Pages 53-57. 2007)
- Skin Cancer is the most common cancer among men over 50, ahead of prostate, lung and colon cancer. (Source: http://skincaner.org/
skin-cancer-stats-for-men.html ) - Despite risks and warnings, only 18% of young women wear sunscreen five days a week! (Source: Consumer Reports http://bit.ly/tE1JX)
- Recent articles on the increase in Melanoma on the left-side of drivers (in the US) points to the wisdom of using a broad spectrum sunscreen, as UVA penetrates glass. (Source: New York Times)
- Daily use of sunscreen has a definite impact on Melanoma survival, pointing to a significant reduction (50%) in invasive Melanomas after regular application of broad spectrum sunscreens daily. (Source: Australian study based on 10-year research study by Adele Green, MD and team at University of Queensland).
In honor of Melanoma Awareness Month, Advanced Dermatology will bring together an evening of high-fashion and cutting-edge skin care while it fills a runway with this seasons best wares and novel aesthetic treatments, topical solutions and services. All proceeds will be donated to the Melanoma Research Foundation.
The fashion show will feature top Chicago designers Evlove Intimates, Lara Miller and Borris Powell. Dr. Amy Taub, head of Advanced Dermatology in Lincolnshire, IL and professor of Dermatology at Northwestern University Medical School, will be on hand to address summer skin protection, offer skin cancer body checks, and will showcase the leading non-invasive, FDA approved fat buster -Zeltiq.
Zeltiq is a treatment device that cools fat in pockets, flushing it from the body - painlessly. Dr. Taub is one of a very select few physicians to be able to offer Zeltiq – the newest, safest way to help women of all ages get bikini ready.
Join Advanced Dermatology for fashion, skin and body fixes, and more.
When: Wednesday, May 18th
6:00 pm to 8:30 pm
6:00 pm Zeltiq demonstration
