Paul Weber, president of EAG Advertising was recently elected to the Board of Directors of Women’s Employment Network (WEN).
“WEN is a nonprofit organization that offers job-search training and resources, individualized coaching and professional case management. WEN also provides a shoulder to lean on, day care advice, professional wardrobes, transportation assistance and fresh starts.
WEN was founded in 1986 by legendary Kansas City leaders Beth K. Smith and the late Marjorie Powell Allen. They were inspired by a successful women-focused employment program in San Antonio that emphasized self-esteem. Realizing the need for this vital service in Kansas City, they created WEN, the only organization of its kind in the area.
More than 5,400 women have graduated from WEN’s programs. Thousands more have benefited from WEN’s support services, community referrals and other training. And countless children and family members beyond have better lives today, thanks to this remarkable organization.”
