As board members, they will provide strategic counsel on strengthening the relationship between advocacy and education, and the impact of women-owned businesses at federal legislative and executive levels. They will bring their unique perspective to develop tools and resources to increase job creation, establish public/private partnerships, and boost economic growth.
