Students in Free Enterprise presents Janice Bryant Howroyd on Thursday, Feb. 15 at 7 p.m. at the NWACC Shewmaker Center. Free to the public.

Janice Bryant Howroyd, motivated by the supportive environments of her own youth, firmly believes that people perform best when their personal strengths are developed and challenged. Her theory is proven true by the 25 plus years she has driven a highly successful business.

Today ACT-1 is leading the industry as the largest staffing agency in America that is woman/minority-owned. "Empowerment is a core value of how I do business today," says the CEO. "It has never been just about making a match to make some money. Empowering people is a blessing and a responsibility." In this millennium, Janice knows the business world must be more innovative, as it is more crowded, more competitive, and more perilous than ever. She thrives on maintaining an edge, expanding into new markets, and creating opportunity for mentoring smaller businesses as vendors.
