Incubation

The WALS Foundation likes to consider itself a "Development Agency," but rather than a "bricks and mortar" developer, WALS promotes the "development" of the individual or small business person. In that role, WALS has mentored, and/or supported new small business start–ups in the local area, as well as individuals, professionals, artists, playwrights, and musicians in promoting their own local businesses, and honing their skills through educational offerings. If you own or plan to start your own local business, or want to get acquainted with others working in your profession or craft, WALS may be able to help in the areas of education, netowrking, business advice, and professional consulting. For more information, contact Kera Holmes at 304–232–8180.

Networking

The WALS Foundation is about connecting and promoting people who are developing new ideas to the community—with a particular interest in ideas that will help develop projects and businesses that enrich the city’s business, educational and cultural resources. Fund Raisers and other Events are scheduled to introduce artists, innovators, or new businesses to the community in an effort to support their work. Read More»
