In honor of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, join the Women’s Center for Entrepreneurship Corporation as they share grant and loan opportunities for small business owners of the LGBTQ+ Community, as well as general funding options. The pandemic disproportionately impacted the LGBTQ+ community. Research finds higher rates of unemployment and food insecurity among those individuals compared to non-LGBTQ+ people, and 1 in 5 lives in poverty. On average, someone who identifies as LGBTQ+ experiences a 10% wage gap to that of their hetero and cis counterparts. Additionally, non-binary folks average a 30% wage gap, and trans men and women experience a 30-40% wage gap. Equity and advocacy is needed now more than ever. The Women’s Center for Entrepreneurship Corporation will share current programming for grants, micro-loans and other funding options to help LGBTQ+-owned small businesses thrive. A Women’s Center for Entrepreneurship Corporation webinar.

It is not uncommon for companies to react quickly to solve the symptom of a problem but then have the problem reoccur, since the root cause was not properly addressed. To break free from this expensive routine, it's important to employ the Quality best practice and problem-solving method known as the Root Cause and Corrective Action process (RCCA). Root Cause and Corrective Action describes a range of tools and techniques used to uncover the causes of manufacturing problems. It is a foundational element of Six Sigma and all Quality program certifications as well as an integral part of a manufacturer’s continuous improvement strategy. During this advanced quality webinar, CMTC Quality Practice Lead Eliot Dratch will examine the proper application of Root Cause and Corrective Action. A CMTC webinar.
