“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” -- Margaret Mead
If you work with women, work for women or are a woman, join us in establishing a culture of entrepreneurship in Texas. This October, Focused & Fearless will be an opportunity for our community to encourage women entrepreneurs and business owners.
The WTAMU Contract Procurement Center will be hosting an all-day event filled with the following:
- insightful workshops
- networking
- opportunities to market your business to agencies
- receive information on where to begin a path towards business ownership
- encouragement from those who have already ventured down the less traveled road of business ownership and entrepreneurship
- an amazing luncheon brought to you by 2Knives Catering!
Let's get Texas focused and fearless! All genders are welcome to attend! We are all part of this world and need community to succeed.
