I attended one event after learning about WEDC and what they offer the community and local women striving for success. I enjoyed the event, the guest speaker, and knew the honorees - both hard-working businesswomen with integrity and staying-power. I see WEDC as a source of expertise, support and much more to the up-and-coming women entrepreneurs in the local community. I met many of the current "clients" as well as a few of the success stories, and am forever impressed. I already passed out WEDC info to an entrepreneur while getting coffee at Atlanta Bread Company in White Plains.
