Many of us are home based sole proprietors while others do business from storefronts with multiple employees and our businesses are as diverse as the women who own them. Because we believe cooperation is more important than competition, our support of one another goes beyond the purely professional level to the much deeper personal connection found among friends.- - - - - - - - - - -
