WASHINGTON - The past three years has seen new energy and vitality at the National Women's Business Council, with increased research, connectivity and advocacy activity. We invite you to attend - either in person or virtually - an important one-hour event that will summarize the progress and promise of women's entrepreneurship as seen from Council leaders. In her final address to the women's business community as she ends her term of office, chair Marilyn Carlson Nelson will highlight the significant progress made by women's business enterprises during the last three years.

The event will also feature comments from Council members and leading women's business community representatives, and plenty of time for questions and dialogue with in-person and online attendees. The key themes that will be addressed will include:

  • access to affordable health care coverage;
  • access to federal procurement;
  • access to capital;
  • access to mentoring and entrepreneurial training, and
  • women's entrepreneurship on the world stage.
