Here's more information on the National Women's Business Center (NWBC).

The National Women’s Business Council (NWBC) is one of approximately 1,000 federal advisory committees across 50 federal government agencies. NWBC serves as an independent source of advice and policy recommendations to the President, Congress, and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator on issues of importance to women’s business enterprise. Housed within SBA, this fifteen-member all-women led volunteer Council is dedicated to ensuring more women entrepreneurs have equitable access to financing, entrepreneurial development opportunities, and contracting awards to help them grow, create generational wealth, and contribute to our national economy.
