Outreach to Women Owned Businesses

Many of today's Fortune 1,000 corporations were founded by one individual with an idea. The Fortune 1,000 corporations of tomorrow will likely be the result of the same with one exception. More of them will have been founded by women. As of 1999, there are 9.1 million women owned businesses in the U.S., employing over 27.5 million people and generating over $3.6 trillion in sales. Professional BusinessWomen of California creates an excellent environment to inspire these future entrepreneurs to take the first step.
