COMMUNITY FOCUSAt Technology Team, we value the opportunity to give back to the community and we are proud to have a key role within the efforts of “Project NEW Beginnings,” a program developed by Fort Worth Business Assistance Center to assist low to no income individuals develop their own business. Project NEW Beginnings, formerly known as “Project ACORN ” (Advancing Confident Owners into Reputable New Business) has changed its name in order to re-establish its mission within the community. * The Fort Worth Business Assistance Center and Technology Team, LLC would like to clarify that “Project NEW Beginnings,” previously “Project ACORN,” is in no way affiliated with the “Association of Community Organization for Reform Now” (ACORN), currently at the center of national controversy. Project NEW Beginnings has changed more than its name; it has enriched its curriculum. The new program structure includes a prerequisite course called “Money Smart,” which features our very own Executive Vice President, Allen Spinner, as a speaker. The four week program establishes the foundation for “wise and mature personal financial decisions” to help entrepreneurs better manage business finances. As always, the program provides business training, counseling and education, enabling the students to be self-sustaining. Project NEW Beginnings focuses on developing self-empowerment, confidence, passion and providing opportunities for the students. Our President, Sherry Green and Allen participate in the program both by serving as instructors and by selecting one outstanding student to receive the “Rising Star Award.” The recipient of the award receives one full computer system, donated by Technology Team.

It’s All About the Letter of Recommendation
By: Jennifer TurnerCommunications and Marketing Administrator
The world of business has gotten complicated. Mom 'n' Pop shops are becoming rare and companies keep growing along with their respective marketing strategies and stock prices. With all the ways we've been taught to think about business, how to treat the customers, how to manage the staff, how to keep the books, how to brand ourselves, and how to keep the shareholders happy — we've forgotten the basics.
Well, no. Maybe not forgotten, but we've certainly buried them deep down away in our brains, stored behind the password to our Yahoo account and the name of our second grade teacher we can never seem to remember.
