Our Purpose is to help business and professional women in Cincinnati to be successful based on their personal definition of success!

Our Mission is to empower business women to connect with each other by providing a  portal that communicates the puzzle pieces for success to include:  networking opportunities, tips and tools, upcoming major women’s business events, seminars for personal and professional growth, and spotlights women that have a proven record to deliver excellence in their field of expertise in the Cincinnati area.  In addition, we will focus on raising funds for The Women's Fund-40% of all membership fees will be donated to the Women's Fund.

 
Our History...
 
Our Co-Founders, Debbie Dent and Vanessa Freytag, started the Women's Business Cincinnati in 2004 after discovering there was a paper like it in Boston, Massachusetts.  They did research and they found that there was no real venue for business women in Cincinnati to read about other successful women and to really spotlight the great women in business we have in our wonderful city of Cincinnati.  Their story of starting the business and the journey is really insightful, but I will save that for Vanessa and Debbie to tell when they are speaking at events around the city.  
 
What I know for certain, and without a doubt...Vanessa and Debbie changed the landscape for all of us in Cincinnati. More media attention is given to professional women in 2008 vs. 2004. 
  • More awards are being given out to women in 2008 vs. 2004.
  • More networking opportunities are available to women in 2008 vs. 2004.
  • More women know each other in the City in 2008 vs. 2004.
  • More women businesses are flourishing in Cincinnati for women in 2008 vs. 2004.
