Iowa ranks last in the nation for the cumulative growth in the number of women-owned firms and their revenue and employment. WASBICC will collaborate with Wartburg College and Wartburg Net Impact to offer a conference called Young Women in Business for middle and high school girls. This conference will educate young women on the core concentrations of business as well as have speakers sharing inspiring life stories on how they started and grew their businesses and explaining why women should become business owners. The overall goal is for WASBICC to educate and assist female entrepreneurs in researching, launching and sustaining small businesses in NE Iowa.
