Women's Business Council

The WBC has been busy over the last couple of weeks! We traveled down to Montgomery to meet with Governor Kay Ivey, listened to Cortina Solutions CEO Edwina Musante, and had a visit from City of Huntsville, Alabama - Government Mayor Battle.

Thank you to all our city and state officials for recognizing the impact woman-owned businesses have on local economies and for allowing our council to share in that celebration during Women's History Month. We are grateful for the amazing business owners in our community and across our state!
