Rep. Elliott Celebrates Female Workers on Women-Owned Business Day

From CT House Democrats: To celebrate the success of Connecticut female business owners, state Rep. Josh Elliott, D-Hamden, will participate in the Women’s Business Development Council’s fourth annual Women-Owned Business Day Wednesday, May 3.

“It is important – now more than ever – to recognize the economic power female business owners hold in Connecticut,” Elliott said. “Women entrepreneurs have brought countless jobs and sources of revenue to the state. I am excited to recognize them for all of their past, current and future accomplishments.”

In Connecticut, there are 107,000 women entrepreneurs employing more than 90,000 people and generating receipts of $3.2 billion.

During the event, which is being held in partnership with CTNext, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from national thought leaders on policy issues facing business owners; learn about the only Microloan Fund in Connecticut for female entrepreneurs; and meet with elected officials and community advocates from across the state.

The event will be co-chaired by House Minority Leader Themis Klarides, R-Seymour, and state Rep. Patricia Billie Miller, D-Stamford.
