As of Aug. 10, the Maine Centers for Women, Work, and Community became New Ventures Maine.
The regional New Ventures office is located in South Hall at the University of Maine at Presque Isle, staffed by Erica Quin-Easter, whose expertise is business assistance and money management, and Suzanne Senechal-Jandreau, who handles career and job assistance as well as money management.
The organization’s mission remains the same: helping Maine people succeed in their jobs, businesses and communities. The same programs will continue to be offered, including classes and workshops, both in-person and online, and one-on-one coaching to encourage and empower those thinking about change to take the next step towards a new career, a new business, a new approach, a new life.
“We chose a name that reflects our all-inclusive mission, that says in concise terms our promise to offer tools to help people take the next step forward with their careers, businesses, and personal finances,” New Ventures officials stated. “After 37 years of successfully positioning our centers as a resource for women, we have evolved to meet the needs of a broad range of people whose attention can be difficult to attract in today’s fast-paced, Internet-oriented times.”
