The agreement <br />introduced a pilot expansion of WEI's SPARK women's business accelerator program <br />beyond the Saint Mary's campus to a place -based model for women living in divested <br />neighborhoods. <br />We request the Board's review and approval of an amendment to our previous <br />agreement with St. Mary's College- Women's Entrepreneurship Initiative (WEI) to <br />clarify the WEI's connection with St. Mary's College. The amendment also increases <br />the agreement amount to $50,000 to reflect an extension of the original scope and term <br />of work through December 2020. <br />
