CA 92701 <br />Dear Bea, <br />This letter is to request a change in the contract regarding the seminar funds. Initially, the contract required that <br />8 seminars be given to a group of 30 each. I am proposing to replace the 3-hour seminars with 4-week intensive <br />courses and expand the 8-week courses to 10-weeks. By making these changes, I would then be able to offer <br />Hispanic business owners a more detailed and expansive program to fit their needs. <br />The reasons for these changes are: <br />After reviewing the surveys for the 3-hour seminars and 8-week courses, we learned that students <br />wanted seminars and courses to be more extensive on topics such as the following: <br />o Internet marketing <br />o Leadership development & communication <br />o Sales and customer service <br />o Cash flow and management <br />o Personal development and self-esteem <br />Funds for seminars could be used more efficiently with the intensive 4-week courses <br />Economic Impact information, regarding the retention and creation of jobs, expansion of the businesses <br />and loans obtained, would be facilitated for record keeping. <br />A better learning experience is achieved through constant interaction with trainer and continuous <br />exposure to complex business subjects. <br />Original contract program <br />Event Proposed <br />in contract Delivered In process Fundsleft <br />Seminars <br />p seminars 8 9 <br />q participants 240 24 <br />Cost $ 14,775 $ 1,477 $ 13,298 <br /> <br />Course 8-week <br />q course 3 1 1 <br />q participants 75 22 25 <br />Cost $ 42,900 $ 12,163 $ 5,244 $ 25,493 <br />Total Funds <br />available $ 38,790
