rachael costner I am a big fan of connecting with other women business owners at networking events. It's proven to be a powerful way to expand my dream team, learn new things, and find new ways to contribute. I'll be attending Jazzy June at the Tacoma Convention Center on June 26 for the first time because I can't wait to experience the event my colleague, friend, and 2008 SBA Women in Business Champion Rachael Costner has been bringing to market since 2002. Here is another link to make it easy for you to read more about it. In addition to owning Sands Costner, a Tacoma-based advertising and marketing agency, Rachael is the creator of the Women's Resource and Business Directory.  This is a comprehensive online directory of businesses and resources for the community, business owners, leaders and those seeking direction, along with an online calendar of events and half-rate advertising opportunities for non-profit organizations.

I am pleased to announce that Rachael will be my special guest at the August 15 Publici-Tea™ Half-Day Workshop I'll be hosting in the South Sound. Yes, I am taking the Publici-Tea™ beyond my Bellevue, WA backyard, and I can hardly wait. Rachael will offer plenty of small business marketing tips and resources to add tremendous value for every guest who attends. Why not make plans now to join us so you can get your DIY publicity machine in perfect order in time to earn fabulous results for fourth quarter? I can't wait to meet you — at Jazzy June and at the August 15 Publici-Tea™.
