On March 20th, 2009 at the Downtown Marriott, women from all over our community will gather to celebrate the accomplishments of outstanding women business owners in our region. Our message, "Women Mean Business" especially rings true when you consider that the estimated 93,233 privately held, majority women owned firms in Kentucky generate $9.3 billion in sales and employ 71,566 people.

the 15th Annual 2009 Woman Business Owner of The Year Luncheon (WBOY) will bring together a diverse audience from the business community representing sole proprietorships to large corporations with hundreds of employees. It is by celebrating the economic development successes of women owned businesses that our entire city succeeds.
