STRENGTHENING TIES BETWEEN FOUNDATION & CHAPTER
Women Who Win
The Women Who Win program is designed with the female student entrepreneur and new business owner in mind. Students who have already begun a business enterprise or who are considering becoming an entrepreneur will be paired with women business owners from the Orlando metropolitan area for a six-month Mentoring Program. Mentees will engage in monthly workshops, learning skills sets needed to be successful as an entrepreneur. Our community partners and area colleges are key supporters of this initiative.
