Women’s groups in California are joining together in a statewide network aimed at increasing opportunities for working women and female business owners.
The California State Economic Network, part of a national initiative generated at the 1998 Women’s Economic Summit in Washington, DC, is designed to link women business leaders, supporters and public officials to advance women’s national economic progress.
“The idea is to join together behind legislation and programs that benefit women business owners and generally improve the economic status of women,” said Judith Luther Wilder, co-chief executive of Women Incorporated, which is organizing California State Economic Network.
California SEN will hold a forum on April 28 at the Los Angeles City Club to develop an agenda for the over 100 women business owners, executives, legislators and supporters expected to attend.
