"I encourage women who are looking to learn more about doing business in Tacoma – and seeking to establish a robust, supportive professional network – to attend this Business Empowerment Series event on March 24."
The panel discussion on March 24 will be followed by a presentation from the Women's Business Enterprise Council.

Dovetailing with other community-wide celebrations and recognitions of history and heritage, the first installment in the series celebrated Black-owned businesses as part of the City's overarching recognition of Black History Month in February. Future installments in the series that are currently in development at this time include:
Following each panel discussion, a presentation on a relevant business-related resource will also be offered.
