Testimonials

 

The webinar was very informative. I’m always looking for spaces for my Nail Tech students to grow in their entrepreneurial journey. I am a service-connected disabled veteran myself and my doctorate is in business admin with a focus on entrepreneurship and small business sustainability. I have found that the Western WI Women's Business Center is really accessible for all. I thank you for allowing me into the space and I will share information with our students.
