Billhighway CEO Joins Conversation on Jobs at White House

02/09/2012

TROY, Michigan (February 9, 2012) – Billhighway CEO Vincent Thomas will participate in a conversation on jobs and the economy to be held at the White House on Friday, February 10, 2012.  Led by the White House Business Council and Business Forward, the conversation will focus on how the Obama Administration and the Detroit business community can work together to create jobs and grow the economy.

“Innovation, customer service, and a focus on financial health and efficiencies have been the linchpins of Billhighway’s success as a company,” said Thomas. “I’m looking forward to sharing the Billhighway story and my thoughts on creative, strategic ways non-financial institutions can improve financial operations for nonprofits and member-based organizations.”

According to the event’s organizers, feedback from sessions with other business groups have had a direct impact on the Administration’s business policies and on the President’s efforts to improve job growth nationally.  Results have included tax cuts for business owners, hiring incentives, and programs that help small businesses make the most of federal resources.

“I’m glad that the Administration is looking for ways to help businesses like Billhighway grow,” said Thomas. “But in many cases, what high growth businesses need most is for government to get out of the way and let us do what we do best.  Extensive regulations and too much oversight can put a damper on growth.”

Thomas will be tweeting throughout the conference, which runs from 2 to 6 p.m. on Friday afternoon. Follow the conversation on Twitter @billhighway. A more comprehensive discussion of the topics discussed at the conference will be posted on the Billhighway Blog at http://blog.billhighway.com/.

How you can celebrate Earth Day (and how Billhighway can help!)

04/20/2011

Earth day 2011 is coming up this Friday, April 22. Hopefully, the spring weather will be gorgeous where you are and you can enjoy some much needed down time outside. Looking for other ways to celebrate? Here are a few ideas:

  1. Start small. Minor changes around the house can be a BIG help for the environment. Here’s a green checklist to help you out.
  2. Attend a local event. Check your local papers/news for Earth Day events around your city. Volunteering at a local park or nature center is also a great way to lend a hand. Who knows- you may even come back for more.
  3. Recycle! I know you already recycle, but pledge to do even more this week. Did you know you can recycle printer cartridges? How about those plastic tray frozen dinners come in? Learn more ways you can recycle to help keep our earth b-e-a-utiful throughout the year.

You can also start your own local Earth Day event and celebration! We want to make it easy for you to collect money to donate to the environmental cause of your choice. Use Billhighway’s donations functionality to create your own URL (http://donate.billhighway.com/MyEarthDay2011) and email to your supporters.
