PWC winner of X-LAB Competition
Posted on October 06, 2010 by jock pitts
PWC was recently announced as one of eight winners of Xavier University’s Launch-a-Business Competition, a program designed to boost the economy by supporting new enterprises and nonprofits. As a winner, PWC will receive free consulting services from Xavier business professionals and be a part of an exciting new initiative in the greater Cincinnati area.
This award is another giant step forward for PWC. Specifically, we believe this new partnership will result in the following:
- The ability to draw on the business expertise of the nationally renowned Williams College of Business and to collaborate with and receive assistance from Xavier staff, MBA students and executive mentors.
- The development of a strategic business plan for the Modifications for Mobility service sector of People Working Cooperatively and recommendations for expanding the model beyond its current design.
- A long-sought, enhanced business relationship with Xavier University and the potential to use its national network of alumni, supporters, business relationships to support People Working Cooperatively's rapid regional, as well as its anticipated future national growth.
- An increased leverage of the People Working Cooperatively's brand through a newly created partnership with Xavier University's national reputation.
Because the dollars the PWC uses come from donors, grants, volunteers and businesses, stewardship of funds is critical. We make sure that each dollar is spent in the most efficient and useful manner. With the guidance of great business minds at Xavier University, we anticipate we’ll be able to stretch our dollars farther to help even more local homeowners in need.
