Resources for Women-Owned Businesses: Meet the WBDC
Hosted by Evanston Chamber of Commerce
About this event
What resources are available specifically for women business owners, and how do you know which ones are right for your business?
Join the Evanston Chamber and Clark McCain of the Women’s Business Development Center (WBDC) for a practical introduction to the programs, services, and opportunities available to women entrepreneurs and business owners.
During this virtual session, you’ll learn how WBDC supports businesses at different stages of growth through business advising and education, access to capital, contracting and procurement assistance, and Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) certification. We’ll also talk about how to connect with WBDC and identify the resources that may be most useful for your business.
Whether you’re starting a business, looking for support as you grow, exploring new funding or contracting opportunities, or curious about WBE certification, this session is a great opportunity to learn about an organization dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs succeed.
This event is part of the Evanston Chamber’s Business Resource Series, connecting local businesses directly with organizations, programs, and resources that can help them grow.
