Zoho Offers Web-Based Office Suite

Zoho, a brand of AdventNet, may be the most helpful tool on the internet. It’s very similar to Microsoft Office with a word processor, spreadsheets, the ability to create presentations, database applications, etc. The main difference is, with Zoho, you can access your files from anywhere with only an internet browser. That’s right! With more software tools than Google, Zoho will let you create, edit, save, and access your projects all online. Users don’t need to download anything. If that hasn’t persuaded you yet, Zoho will run on any operating system, you can import your Microsoft files, sign up in a matter of seconds, and the best thing about it is that it’s mostly free!

All of Zoho’s applications have a familiar format. There’s nothing complicated about it. Test it out and see what’s so great about it.

Zoho was listed in PC World’s 100 Best Products of 2007. Go to www.zoho.com.

12th Annual Hoop Dreams 3-on-3 Charity Basketball Tournament

A few weeks ago, over a thousand people from the regional business community came together with DC public high school students and hit the blacktop to raise funds to support inner city youth during the 12th Annual Hoop Dreams 3-on-3 Charity Basketball Tournament.

Both a charity sports event and community festival, the tournament celebrated the organization’s year-long mentoring, academic scholarship fundraising and community building efforts that connect inner city DC public high school students with area business professionals.

ExecutiveBiz is a proud media sponsor of this annual event.

Over $850,000 raised in 10 weeks by local professionals!

14 National Capital Area Chapter candidates brought in a record breaking: $859,134.95 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society in only TEN weeks!! Four candidates (Fried, Judge, Pamela Sorensen and Allison Gurnitz) each raised more than $100,000, a first for the campaign. It was also one of the closest races ever, keeping 400 family members, friends, campaign teams and supporters on the edge of their seats at the black tie awards gala as the judges tallied the final amounts raised by each of the winners.

ExecutiveBiz would like to extend special congratulations to the first runner up, Pamela Sorensen for exceeding her 100,000 goal by more than $25,000 dollars!

Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

"The efforts of these 14 individuals is even more amazing when you consider the fact that none of them are professional fundraisers and all have successfully juggled demanding careers and family obligations to raise money for the Society's mission," said Donna McKelvey, Executive Director of the National Capital Area Chapter. "We are absolutely astounded and thrilled by this accomplishment: it is unprecedented."
