Corporate partners provide opportunities for companies to build strategic relationships and market their products and services to the fastest growing segment of the U.S. economy - women business owners.

Local corporate partnerships provide our chapter with operating revenues and opportunities for our members to build their network and customer bases. We call these participating companies "partners" - not sponsors - because we want a win-win relationship with each corporate partner.
