Communities with higher percentages of women business owners and women in leadership roles are more economically prosperous (World Bank, 2023).

Through its diverse and expanding membership base, WBEC Metro NY and Greater DMV has a front-row seat to the incredible contributions of women towards economic development and growth in the New York tri-state and greater DC region. Through programming, certification, mentorship, and by being a vocal promoter of the evidence demonstrating the economic value of women’s participation in business, we are breaking down barriers and fostering an inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem.
