The Council is committed to: Conducting research on issues of importance to women business owners and their organizations; Communicating these findings widely; Connecting the women?s business community to public policy makers; and Providing a platform for change to expand and improve opportunities for women business owners and their enterprises. The Council staff prepares and distributes a bi-monthly electronic newsletter to over 5,000 members of the women?s business community: association leaders, policy advocates, entrepreneurial support organizations, individual women business owners, and others interested in women?s entrepreneurship. At the present time, an e-mail is sent out to our contact database informing our community that the newsletter is on our web site, in pdf format.
