[Hidden-tech] Creative Economy Roundtable

[Jeanne Yocum]

Hi, all,

I have been asked to be on the panel for this event and thought that some of
you might also want to come. We will be talking about how the government can
support the efforts of those of us in the creative economy...a rather
loosely defined term to be sure, but one in which I¹m equally sure many
members of this listserv fit.

I plan to bring up broadband access EVERYWHERE, AFFORDABLE health insurance,
and a good system for sole practitioners to learn about state contracts that
we might fulfill (while probably also saving the state lots of moolah
because of our affordability) as some of the chief ways the state could help
us prosper. If you have any other needs you'd like me to mention, please
send them to me directly at jeanne at yourghostwriter.com.
