January ACS Member of the Month -
Pinnacle Empowerment Center

The Pinnacle Empowerment Center (PEC) is a nonprofit organization that provides women who are at a crossroads in their career or their life with customized career and life coaching, career management training, and access to financial and educational resources. PEC understands the real challenges women face in order to get ahead and we help give women the tools and resources needed for long-term success!
Since starting operations in Spring of 2011, we have helped over 50 women through our workshops, job club, empowerment circles, individual coaching sessions, and phone consultations.  Additionally, the inaugural Women’s Empowerment Conference on October 28th we co-hosted with makingCHANGE was a huge success with over 170 attendees! 2012 will be even better as we are expanding our workshop selections and plans are in the works for the next Women’s Empowerment Conference.
On ACS:
We are pleased to be members of ACS as it is a great organization of local nonprofits working together to support each other as we work improve the quality of life in Howard County.  Having a peer support network is important and helps us conserve and direct our resources by not constantly reinventing the wheel.  While we’re relatively new to ACS, we are very much looking forward to taking full advantage of the wonderful slate of upcoming programs and we believe our membership is a wonderful value.
