Our President and CEO, Bliss Coulter was honored to represent the Women's Business Council - Southwest in DC this week for the annual November WBENC event.
What an incredible that past couple days it has been in Washington DC. Eason, Pamela (Prince-Eason) and the entire WBENC team did a great job! From the strategy session to the Pitch Competition. We got to cheer our very own Women's Business Council - Southwest WBE, Erin England pitch her Diaper Concierge company! 👏🏼 We had a wonderful WBCS WBE Forum member dinner 🍽️ with Silvana Rosero, Patti Winstanley, Angela Seaman where we got to celebrate our 2024 WBE Star Kathleen Hunt one more time before passing the torch to Jennifer Schaumburg our 2025 WBE Star! Can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds!
