| The Women’s Business
Center is very fortunate to have a wonderful,
strong, supportive, visionary, group of
women to count on – the Women’s
Business Center Advisory Council. If it
weren’t for this tremendous group
of volunteers, our small staff wouldn’t
be able to accomplish nearly all that we
do. The Advisory Council supports the mission
of the Women’s Business Center in
a variety of ways including: supplementing
the work of the Board of Directors; assisting
in fund raising by helping us identify
funding sources – sponsors, scholarship
money, grants, etc.; serving as local links
to the seven counties in our service area;
being and finding volunteers; helping to
plan and execute our programs and events;
writing or forwarding newsletter articles;
being the eyes and ears of the Women’s
Business Center in the community. They
help us identify potential needs in the
community that we can address. They tell
us what others are saying about the Women’s
Business Center and help us to get our
word out to our potential clients and supporters.
We ask for brainpower, elbow grease and
shoe leather!
This is a working group. Each Council
member is asked to make a one-year commitment
(October - September). Meetings are held
no more than once each month and no less
than once each quarter. Sub-committees
for special events may meet more often.
Individuals interested in supporting
the economic empowerment of women through
entrepreneurship by serving on the Women’s
Business Center’s Advisory Council
should contact the center at 251-660-2725
or by
email.
