The group is the product of a program launched by the board of trade in March that aims to support and foster success for women in business.
“Women’s Business Success Network is a group of both men and women interested in supporting women at all levels of business, whether a sole entrepreneur, a small business owner, a business professional or an established executive,” noted a press release.
