Women Wanted: Bill Waldo
How can Tech Coast Angels attract more women members? Former french fry salesman, Bill Waldo, has a few ideas. As an entrepreneur he sold 60 million pounds of french fries a year then sold his Las Vegas food wholesaling business to retire to Newport Beach. But he's too young for retirement. Enter the Tech Coast Angels and now after 2 years Bill chairs the Orange County Membership Committee.
What do prospective members ask about the organization? What are their early impressions? And what advice does Bill offer to new members?
He has his challenges, especially how to recruit more women members. How will he open that door and attract more women? So why does TCA want more members? Is it political correctness or is there something more?

Boy, that is a can of worms I would like to open. I got a few hints during the Fast Pitch competition. You're right he does have a challenge in front of him.

I met you at the Angel Conference in Tucson and have enjoyed receiving your emails. Bob Morrison and I are very interested in finding new ways to attract more women to get interested in/involved with the Desert Angels in Tucson.
What were some of the ideas Bill Waldo presented and have they proven effective?
