Special Thanks
The completion of the 2010 pilot program would not have been possible without the help of many people, both before and during the cycle of the program. Thanks go to: Nicole Brewer, Yvonne Surrey, Nikki Smith and Lindsay Rau for joining us as special guests at several of our sessions; Liz Weinman, Allison Lynch and everyone involved in the New York Women’s Social Entrepreneur Incubator Program, which provided the platform that allowed me to develop SYE; Antonio Melendez and the staff at Family Dynamics Beacon MS35; the staff at the Macon Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library; Amy Dreher and Nell Eckersley for volunteering today, Hazel Jacobs for taking today’s photos; Sheila Holmes for  help with the logo and attire; and all my friends and family who have supported me through this process.
