Bridging the Gap reaches out to the next generation of WBEs by bringing aspiring women entrepreneurs from diverse universities across the U.S. to the 2011 WBENC National Conference & Business Fair. The students are introduced to key corporate leaders and women business owners in dynamic settings that assist with career planning, creative and critical thinking, and entrepreneurial development.  
 
WIB2010 was the third year for the program, and it was a big success! Twenty students from institutions, such as Howard University, University of Texas at El Paso, and Clark Atlanta University, were supported by a combination of efforts from both Corporate Members and WBEs. Their generosity allowed the students to take part in the three-day program. Students and companies who participated in this program expressed deep satisfaction with the initiative and the desire to meet again this Fall to discuss ways to enhance the program in future years. Join us in providing resources to a group of talented young women who have already demonstrated a capacity for entrepreneurship and are eager to learn more.
