THE MISSION OF NEWTOWN
MACON:
To attract, leverage
and invest in the self-sustaining
transformation of downtown Macon.
WOMEN CAN BETTER SUPPORT
EACH OTHER BY:
Being
cheerleaders for each other. When a
colleague successfully completes a
project, let her know. If you're inspired
by a project of a work acquaintance,
share it on social media. Shout out the
successes of others without hesitation.
ADVICE FOR WOMEN WHO WANT
TO START A BUSINESS:
At NewTown
Macon, we work with aspiring and
lifelong business owners. Some of the
most successful business women are
those who have built a comprehensive
support system, so build your team.
You'll need help with everything
from bookkeeping to marketing. And
success starts with you – you have to be
disciplined with your finances, clear in
your vision, and confident to go after
what you want to be sustainable.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED
THAT:
We have eight full-time people
on staff and five of those staff members
aren't originally from Macon. This ratio
shows that new people are moving to
Macon who are passionate about this
community and working beside lifelong
Maconites to make real, positive,
sustainable change.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS?
Success happens when everyone has
a place at the table. We strive to be
intentional and inclusive in our work to
build a strong urban core for the entire
community.
