Entrepreneurship Action Day June 3

On June 3, 1999, CPA, the National Women’s Business Council (NWBC), Fannie Mae and the Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy, will hold Entrepreneurship Action Day. Promoting women’s entrepreneurship is one of four pillars of CPA’s America’s Economic Agenda: Women’s Voices for Solutions.

Entrepreneurship Action Day will involve a series of coordinated media events in state capitals and cities across the U.S. highlighting the impact of women-owned businesses on state and national economies and supporting investments in women-owned businesses.

Women leaders at NWBC’s Summit `98 developed strategies for financing business start-up and growth, training and education, access to market opportunities and networks and increasing women’s economic leadership. These strategies will form part of the framework for Entrepreneurship Action Day.

Entrepreneurship Action Day will:

• Highlight the impact of women business owners on the state and national economy;
• Advance an agenda that invests in women-owned businesses of all sizes as an economic development strategy;
• Spark new policies that break down barriers to women growing and sustaining their businesses.
