Calling All Women of Color Entrepreneurs in Dallas

Full disclosure: I am on the Advisory Council of the Center for Women’s Business Research.

The Center for Women’s Business Research, in collaboration with Babson College, will be in Dallas, TX on September 20, 2007 at the Westin Dallas/Fort Worth Airport hotel for the fourth Accelerating the Growth of Businesses Owned by Women of Color research forum!

I attended this event in Philadelphia and not only did I connect with women who will be life-long business colleagues but, I learned so much about what’s stopping my business from moving forward. We collectively developed strategies that would effectivley address our growth challenges and then put follow-up and check-ins in place to ensure progress. And, the goodie bag was fabulous! I whole-heartedly recommend this event to any woman of color entrepreneur. Don’t miss it.

The Center’s multi-year research effort engages women of color entrepreneurs in a dialogue about the factors that are preventing them from growing their businesses, and the actions that are necessary to meet and overcome those barriers.
