Innovate: Find Opportunity in Challenge Topic for WEI Educational Summit in Eureka CA

I've read incredible stories about many different businesses who either started their business in a recession successfully or not only survived during one, but thrived in it. Women Entrepreneurs Institute wants to encourage local women entrepreneurs who have a business or are thinking about starting a business to know that there are always opportunities and resources to help you not only start your business but grow a successful business here locally. WEI's mission has always been to encourage a diverse and healthy economy not only in Eureka CA, but throughout Humboldt County California as well. And WEI has found, as an organization, that bringing women entrepreneurs together creates a powerful support system towards this very goal.

WEI usually partners up with several local organizations to put on 2 events per year. A smaller networking and inspirational event in the Fall and a larger resource and inspirationally packed all day event in the Spring to not only inspire women entrepreneurs but to motivate them to be successful.
