Around the Water Cooler

Posted by Maureen Petron -- Notice anything new in the top navigation here at NASE.org?

We just launched the Water Cooler, NASE’s online networking community. NASE Members can update their profile, promote their business, join (or create!) groups of other members based on geography or interest, ask for advice, and even upload pictures of their goods or services.

 

Why did we create the Water Cooler for NASE Members? User Michael Davis said it best in his profile: “It can get pretty quiet here working alone!”


A lot of NASE Members work from a home office, and don’t have employees – maybe that aptly describes you. And if it does, the Water Cooler is your place to meet fellow micro-business owners, near and far. You can search for peers in the same industry, or the same town. You can ask a question or follow discussions in the forums. You can advertise your services, and feel good about hiring a fellow entrepreneur registered with the site.

The community is just building, and growing every day. Join in!

Getting started is easy. Go to the Water Cooler from NASE.org, and click login in the upper right hand corner. The log in is the same as what you set up for NASE.org – and if you haven’t yet set up a Web account, all you need is your member number.

From there, your profile already exists! You can update it with more information, add a photo, a create a page for your business, too.

Get started today meeting members and growing your business.

Meet the NASE Staff Bloggers



Kristin Oberlander
- In public affairs, my job is to serve as a link between the association, micro-businesses and the media. When I have down time, I enjoy drinking large quantities of coffee, contemplating how I will cram one more pair of (un)needed shoes into my closet and finding creative ways to remove my dog’s hair from my clothes, car, own hair and food. My biggest pet peeve is drivers who don’t understand 4-way stops.

Katie Vlietstra - As Director of Government Affairs, I work to explain how actions on Capitol Hill can impact the self-employed. I love D.C. and have made my home in Capitol Hill, where I live with my fiancé and black Labrador, Coltrane. We love playing volleyball and softball on the National Mall.

Molly Nelson
- I help out with the NASE’s legislative advocacy, communications, and public relations. From attending hearings on the Hill to helping select the cover design for the member magazine, I’ve always got something new going on. I like practicing yoga, running through different parts of the city, and I’m an admitted etymology/grammar nerd.

Kristie Arslan
- As President, one of my chief roles is to educate legislators and the media on how key issues such as health care, tax, and the lagging economy affect the self-employed. When I am not speaking out for our members, I spend my time helping my husband with his small business.
