#WBCSevent

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes to make the Parade of Stars Awards Gala a successful event? In addition to the hard work by our event staff, we have a committee of 9 outstanding WBEs who help make it all happen.

Every year, The Women’s Business Council – Southwest awards the Lillie Knox Investment Award, a cash prize of up to $20,000, exclusively available to WBCS Women's Business Enterprises, to help further business growth. We interviewed the 2020 award winners about how the Lillie Knox investment award has benefitted their business and helped them thrive.

The Women’s Business Council – Southwest works hard to provide valuable programming to connect our women-owned businesses with opportunities to grow their businesses. This is something we can’t do without the support of our sponsors. Over the next few months, we will highlight our Champion Circle Platinum Sponsors, and bring you some information about their supplier diversity programs.

If you are looking to do business with our Corporate (Sustaining) Members, the roundtable sessions are the perfect opportunity for you to connect with Supplier Diversity professionals.

Even if you weren't nominated for an award this year, you can still be a winner at our annual Parade of Stars Awards Gala on February 4th!

Learn how the program can help you create a plan to strategically grow your business through practical skills and networking. Selected applicants will gain access to a world-class business education and connections to a professional support network at no cost

Celebrating the Women’s Business Council – Southwest 25th anniversary is a major milestone for us and for the impact of Women Business Enterprises (WBEs) on our entire economy and business landscape. We intend to celebrate in style throughout 2020!

We know that you are excited for this year's Harvesting Partnerships, so help us spread the word! This event is not only valuable for current members, but also is great opportunity for any women business owner to get insight on WBE certification, connect with fellow entrepreneurs, and participate in discussions centered on business ownership.
