Appreciating the value of lessons learned the hard way is only possible if we give ourselves time to reflect and learn from them. That is why, this August, weVENTURE Women’s Business Center will host our annual leadership development conference, the IMPACT Summit, with the overarching theme of No Pressure, No Diamonds.
This event creates space for female entrepreneurs and professional women across all industries to come together and reflect on the lessons learned from the last year, discuss opportunities for personal, professional and societal growth, and identify the valuable changes that have taken place in each of us.
Diamonds and other precious gems are valuable because we appreciate the unique conditions necessary to make them and are inspired by their beautiful qualities that make each one unique and special. How precious then, are each of us? We are all Diamonds in the making.
weVENTURE Women’s Business Center in the Florida Tech Bisk College of Business is dedicated to igniting the power of female entrepreneurs. We provide low and no-cost business education, training, coaching and mentorship to female entrepreneurs in Brevard, Indian River and St. Lucie Counties. We also provide purposeful networking and leadership development opportunities for professional women across all industries. weVENTURE WBC strives to be the leading regional voice for women in business on the Space and Treasure Coasts.
Funded in part by a grant from the Small Business Administration, weVENTURE WBC must raise private dollars to match the $150,000 annual SBA grant to fully fund our programs. We do this through private investment, corporate sponsorship and other non-federal grants. All proceeds form the IMPACT Summit go to support weVENTURE WBC.
The Annual IMPACT Summit is both a leadership development training event, and a source of revenue to help weVENTURE WBC meet this match requirement. All revenue from sponsorships and ticket sales support weVENTURE Women's Business Center.
