Idaho Hispanic Foundation to host Women's Business Center
BOISE, Idaho (CBS 2) — The Idaho Hispanic Foundation will host the Idaho Women’s Business Center under the direction of the Idaho Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
The business development organization will provide resources, education, and services to entrepreneurs and female small business owners across the state of Idaho. The University of Idaho will serve as a co-partner to the Idaho WBC.
“The mission of the Idaho WBC is to serve all women, cultures and communities in achieving their educational, professional and entrepreneurial goals,” said Diane Bevan, president and CEO of the Idaho Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. “This is an exciting time to be part of such an important work as Idaho continues to thrive, and we thank Senator Risch for all his work to bring a center to Idaho to serve women entrepreneurs in the Treasure and Magic Valleys.”
U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho) has been working with the U.S. Small Business Administration to bring a Women’s Business Center back to Idaho since he served as chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship from 2017-2018.
"Women entrepreneurs are key to the success of our state, driving much of the extraordinary economic growth Idaho has experienced over the last decade, and the Idaho Women’s Business Center will equip female business leaders in the Gem State with the tools they need to start and grow their businesses,” Risch said.
The Idaho WBC will open the locations in the Treasure Valley and the Magic Valley.
