Milwaukee’s business community came together today to celebrate the Wisconsin Women’s Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation (WWBIC)’s 35th anniversary luncheon.
The celebration showcased WWBIC’s decades of impact and connections to the Wisconsin small business community. A favorite feature of the annual event is the Small Biz Market, which featured over 50 WWBIC supported businesses, and offered guests the opportunity to purchase goods and services from a variety of local small businesses.
