Today kicks off National Business Women's Week! This observance celebrates the achievements of women in the workplace. It also takes a look at the past, how far women in business have come, and how far we have yet to go.
Every year, women in the workforce take on stronger, more empowering roles. They run their own businesses, take charge of the boardroom, and build upon last year’s successes. Not long ago, very few women even had a voice. Today, women own approximately 14.2 million U.S. businesses and generate approximately $2.8 trillion in receipts each year. Their contributions to the economy cannot go unnoticed.
On this special week, we want to say thank you to all of women who lead and inspire in our community. They are among the business owners, professionals, leaders, mentors, volunteers, innovators, caregivers, educators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who make a difference every day. Thank you for everything that you do!
