You may know Jackie for her love of cake sweetness,
However, her other love is connecting & growing small businesses & communities.
"For the last 6 years, I have served as a volunteer committee member, for Logan Chamber of Commerce.
Expo organizer for the last 5years for Logan Business Expo, LEXPO, for Logan Chamber of Commerce too.
As an experienced self-publisher of 2 International cake decorating and baking books and E-books,
I suggested to the Logan Chamber of Commerce committee, I would do the same for a collaborated business book.
Business 2 Business is a collaboration written by business members of the Logan Chamber of Commerce. Our aim is to bring business to your business.
I pushed to get this book created, as I could see the business skills, worth, and experience within our committee and members of the Logan Chamber of Commerce.
We could share and enhance and grow other businesses.
I formatted book layout and cover design and wrangled 12 other busy business owner authors, to write a specific chapter to bring us on the same page!
I contributed 2 chapters, home-based businesses, and isolation in business.
I can always see the bigger picture or potential in many things I interact with.
Business 2 Business is a collaboration of 14 chapters written by Logan Chamber of Commerce members.
My experience and book compiling design and layout services, was at no cost to Logan Chamber of Commerce."
Jackie was the force behind it and compiled the first book of a series.
