With a push to conduct business in virtual environments, the Center for Women & Enterprise (CWE) has been able to engage new audiences, experiment with new programming, and completely transform the way it recruits talent, conducts business, and connects with clients. Join our conversation with Monique Priestley, CWE VT’s COVID Business Recovery Project Manager, to learn how CWEVT staff, instructors, and clients are making significant, replicable shifts in order to adapt to a world turned upside down by COVID.
CWE, which operates the women’s business centers of Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, provides opportunities for women entrepreneurs and women in business to increase professional success, personal growth, and financial independence. CWE does this by offering no-cost education, consulting, mentorship, and networking opportunities supported in part by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Since 1995, CWE has worked with more than 46,000 entrepreneurs throughout New England. Traditionally, much of their programming has been conducted in-person in major population centers.
