Since 1998, the Association of Women’s Business Centers (AWBC) has aggregated the voices of Women’s Business Centers to advocate on behalf of this incredibly successful program to United States Congress, the SBA and other agencies.
In addition to helping secure additional funding for the Women’s Business Center Program, AWBC works to expand the capacity of Women’s Business Centers and the Program as a whole to serve more enterprising women.
