The Women’s Business Center of Richmond at Virginia Union University held its grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony on March 18, 2021. According to their website, the WBC Richmond will provide one-on-one counseling, training, technical assistance, networking, and resources vital to the success of women entrepreneurs in the Richmond area. These services are desperately needed as female entrepreneurs and women-owned small businesses struggle to recover during an economic downturn and worldwide pandemic.
Dr. Dannellia Gladden-Green, Executive Director said, “For such a time as this, the Women’s Business Center Richmond will become a leading complement to the entrepreneurial efforts of, for and through women-owned enterprises and I am super-excited to add my leadership to the team making this a reality.”
