2010 WOMEN'S BUSINESS COUNCIL SPONSORS
The Women's Business Council promotes the full participation and leadership of women at all levels in the workplace in Tech Valley’s economic development, community and government.
The WBC develops programs that provide opportunities for women to network and share their expertise with each other and all Chamber members and to address the unique challenges and issues of women in business.
The WBC holds monthly meetings featuring various business and educational topics and three annual signature events, including the Women of Excellence Awards Luncheon, an annual Summer Social and the Symposium on Excellence.
The WBC also sponsors a Toastmasters Club.
Since 2002, the WBC has supported the community by "adopting" a nonprofit agency each year to raise funds and awareness for the benefit of the organization and to provide volunteer opportunities for WBC members to support the organization.
The 2010 WBC Adopted Nonprofit Organization is Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region.

"One of the best things I get out of the Women’s Business Council is the opportunity to get to know other women – in various fields – on a personal level. When I need a service in my business the first thing I do is think who in the Women’s Business Council does that. Because you’ve developed trusted relationships with these women, those are the people you think of first."
