Are You Protecting Your
Blindside?
Carolyn Boteler’s Human Resources Subcommittee wants to
help you protect your “Business Blindside”
and has two great workshops scheduled for Wednesday,
September 29 and Wednesday, October 20, 2010. The
workshops will address the following important
questions.
With constant legislative changes and increasing changes
in today’s workforce, you are probably concerned about
your organization? Do you have your “Blindside” covered?
Are you attracting, motivating, and retaining today’s
workers? Are you in compliance with human resource
regulations? Do you have proper performance appraisals
and job descriptions? What about a policy for
termination and discipline?
With all of the legal requirements that businesses must
face, are you still meeting the needs of your employees?
Increased productivity, working as a team, understanding
the different generations, and leadership skills are
still high priorities for maintaining a successful
workforce and are common needs of most organizations.
Attend these workshops and listen as SST and Gay Saxon
give you a quick look at possible solutions to make sure
your “Business Blindside” is covered. Click
here for more details and to register for these
valuable membership services.

Jackson Public
Schools Education Foundation Trust Celebrates 25
Years
 The Community Foundation of Greater Jackson and
Jackson Public Schools are celebrating 25 years of
investing in Jackson’s children.
The 25th anniversary celebration will honor the JPS
Education Trust Fund’s founders and commemorate the
continuing impact it will have in years to come. The
Trust is an endowment that awards annual mini-grants
to JPS teachers. It began as a project of the
Greater Jackson Chamber Partnership and was later
transferred to the Community Foundation of Greater
Jackson. The Trust has since merged with a similar
project of the Junior League of Jackson and
continues to be administered by the Community
Foundation.
According to Doug Boone, President and CEO of the
Community Foundation, “The Education Foundation
Trust’s founders had a vision that this fund would
provide a permanent way to help enrich JPS
classrooms by supporting innovative learning
projects that would otherwise go unfunded. Its
evolution—coming from the Chamber to the Community
Foundation, and the Junior League’s more recent
involvement—is a demonstration of the importance of
different sectors working together to invest in
education as a way to improve our community. We
invite the community to join us in observing this
milestone.”
The JPS Education Foundation Trust Celebration will
be held September 15 at 5:30 PM at the William
Winter Archives and History Building located at
North and Amite Streets in Downtown Jackson.
Speakers at the celebration will include local
developer David Watkins and Former Governor William
Winter.

Greater Jackson, please visit www.cfgj.org. or call

Light the Night with Team Green!
The Greater Jackson Chamber Partnership (TeamGreen)
is participating in the Light The Night Walk, The
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's evening walk and
fundraising event. It is the nation's night to pay
tribute and bring hope to thousands of people
battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones
lost.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) funds
lifesaving research that has contributed to major
advances in the treatment of blood cancers and
treatments for other types of cancer, such as
chemotherapy and stem cell transplants. New targeted
therapies that kill cancer cells without harming
normal tissue are providing drugs and procedures
that are improving quality of life.
In fact, in 2009 alone, LLS researchers were
conducting more than 90 clinical trials, a critical
step in the development of new treatments and cures
that will help patients live better, longer lives.
A donation of $25 provides patients and their loved
ones with FREE booklets that contain up-to-date
information on their disease and help them make
informed decisions about their treatment options.
A donation of $50 makes possible a Family Support
group with a trained facilitator where comfort can
be found and experiences can be shared among
patients and family members.
A donation of $100 helps supply laboratory
researchers with supplies and materials critical to
carrying out their search for cures.
A donation of $1,000 makes possible one- on-one
conversations with health care specialists who
provide
patients with information about their disease,
treatment options, and helps prepare them with
questions for their health care team.
Please make a donation to support TeamGreen
participation in the Light The Night Walk and help
save
lives. Visit the link below to make a donation and
track our progress. Thanks in advance for your
support!
