I hope you will join me in my goal of raising $7,500 to support WEV's operations.  In this economic and political environment, WEV represents a unique opportunity for women who have thought about starting their own businesses or are currently running their own businesses to gain new skills or strengthen existing skills, to have access to capital through the Small Business Loan Fund, and to collaborate or partner with other entrepreneurs in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.  If you can't make a direct contribution to WEV, please support local WEV businesses - over 1,000 businesses - refer to the website for a business directory - and thank you, in advance, for your efforts.  In supporting WEV and local WEV businesses, you play a part in strengthening our local community far beyond your contribution and your purchase.
