In honor of the Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation  

On November 9, 2001, The Wisconsin Women's Business Initiative Corporation celebrated 12 years of micro entrepreneurship during our Reception 2001 - Local Impacts... Global Visions 

What a successful event! Over 400 stakeholders in the community were able to join us in the celebration of micro entrepreneurship. Ambassador Linda Tarr-Whelan gave an inspirational speech (PDF) about the importance of small business owners in our society. They truly are the backbone of Wisconsin, and the nation's economy. All of our efforts do make a difference. This year more than 15 of WWBIC's loan clients catered the reception. 
What a terrific sight.
