I promised to get back to some of the answers from the group from Part 2 of this live blogging series from the Center for Women’s Business Research’s symposium, Research to Roadmap here in Washington, D.C.
So here’s what some of the women had to say in answer to the question of what needs to happen to accelerate the growth of businesses owned by women of color:
- Continuing research on women of color who are entrepreneurs;
- Providing educational opportunities on strategic planning;
- Winning government contracts;
- Preparing and understanding financial statement analysis;
- Entrepreneurship itself;
- Changing our perception of ourselves from the inside out;
- Creating lending circles for women; and
- Providing more opportunities for women to interact, engage and get to know each other, as we’re doing at this symposium.
Amen to that.
