Ambassador Program
WERC has been honored and fortunate to have many generous and dedicated supporters over the years. One such individual is Juanita Ecker, a certified expert in business etiquette, corporate protocol, and image consulting. Juanita's generous donations have allowed WERC to create a fund specifically to help women return to work - giving them the edge they need - to be successful.
The donations from The "Juanita Ecker Student Networking Fund" allow us to continue teaching networking classes, assist students in creating their own business cards, and provide funds for our graduates to attend community networking events with our WERC Ambassadors.
