Melissa
Ruba of Michigan Works! to Speak at March Luncheon
Melissa Ruba, Business Liaison for Manistee County at
Northwest Michigan Works! Service Center will be the speaker at
the Thursday March 20 Women’s Economic Resource Center netWork
luncheon beginning at 11:45 at the Tuscan Grille on River Street
in Manistee. The luncheon is sponsored by Hackley Hospital of
Muskegon.
If you are a women business owner, if you work in human
resources, if you are looking for employment or looking for
employees, if you need assistance with your resume, recruitment,
expanding your business, regulations, or the labor market, this
luncheon will get you connected to a single point of entry into
the often overwhelming business of being in business.
As a program of the Northwest Michigan Council of
Governments, Michigan Works! Has the resources available to
assist anyone, at no charge, to find current data, answer
questions, and help you make informed business decisions. Job
seekers will learn about numerous free services available.
The mission of WERC is to actively cultivate and support the
professional and political development and leadership of women
and girls in Manistee County and the surrounding area. The
mission will be accomplished through programs of WERC, such as
the Women’s netWork luncheons, the Women’s Empowerment
Giving Circle, Women’s Business Support, LUNAFEST, Career
Mentoring, and Personal Finance.
WERC will also build partnerships with other programs and
organizations that are working to provide sustainable
livelihoods, political and leadership opportunities and access
for women and girls. More information about WERC can be found at
the web site www.manisteewerc.org
The luncheon will be held March 20 at the Tuscan Grille on
River Street in Manistee. Doors open at 11:30 am. The cost is
$10 payable at the door. To register send an email to manisteewomen@yahoo.com.

“All women are encouraged to attend the luncheons and
participate in WERC,” said Crockett. “We hold our regular
monthly Women’s netWork luncheons on the third Thursday of
each month. And the WERC board meetings are held the third
Tuesday of each month.”
