Nashville WAHMfest™ to Showcase Work at Home
May 14 event to feature 35+ companies that embrace moms (and dads) who stay home to raise children
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) May 3, 2005 -- Women struggling to balance the demands
of work and family will be able to learn next month about dozens of
opportunities that can make that effort more profitable and conducive to raising
children.
The Nashville WAHMfest™ will feature more than 35 companies
with products or services perfectly suited for "work at home moms" and dads.
From kitchen and cooking utensils to legal services, cosmetics and jewelry, a
wide array of products will be demonstrated live to show attendees the many
flexible, alternative avenues to generating income for their families.
"I
know from first-hand experience that being a mother is the proudest occupation
in the world," says Shannon McGee, director of Nashville WAHMfest™ and a mother
of two daughters ages four years and 4 months. "But I also understand that moms
often need something for themselves and to know that they are contributing
financially to their family's well-being. Nashville WAHMfest™ will help moms do
exactly that."
More than half of all small businesses in the United
States are based at home. An estimated 30 million people now earn their livings
through telecommuting, and their ranks increase significantly each
year.
Nashville WAHMfest™ will be held 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May
14, 2005, in the Valley Expo Center located at 2611 McGavock Pike, across from
the Opryland Hotel. For more information, please visit www.wahmfest.org/tn/nashville/index.html.
WAHMfest™ is
a seven-year-old organization founded in Northern Virginia by a "Jill of All
Trades" who was committed to helping other working parents find ways to stay at
home with their kids. A strong advocate of telecommuting and creating flexible
positions to help mothers and fathers find balance in their lives, WAHMfest™ is
now in more than 20 states.
