Message from MWBC's Director

Every October, the changing leaves and National Women's Small Business Month signals that our  awards luncheon is near. On Tuesday, October 17th, we honored six women in Maryland who are impacting their industries and community. 

Additionally, at the MWBC, we're excited to share with our stakeholders key milestones we achieved during the past fiscal year.
 
From September 30, 2016 - September 29, 2017 
we assisted in:  
  • 502 clients counseled,
  • 58 business starts,
  • 123 jobs created,
  • 53 jobs retained,
  • $1.9 million in sales growth,  
  • $874,370 in capital infusion, and the
  • Development of new strategic partnerships.
All of our accomplishments wouldn't have been possible without the support of our program funders. We thank the SBA, Citi Foundation, Montgomery County, City of Rockville, Frederick County, Prince George's County Council and the City of Bowie for their continual funding support. New private sector program support from HSBC and BB&T also helped our efforts in further expanding our program offerings. We look forward to building upon these new initiatives as we focus on helping our women entrepreneurs achieve new heights.
 
Enjoy the fall!
