The LBA Minority Women’s Business Conference was formed in 2010 to encourage women to engage in fields in which they have traditionally been underepresented – namely Energy and Technology. All are welcome.
This is the time to engage in a full day of the exciting and dynamic world of women in business!
“Welcome to the 4th Annual LBA Minority Women’s Business Conference. The MWBC is an opportunity, in our community, to do business with each other- where we encourage minority- and women-business owners and entrepreneurs to engage in fields in which they are currently underrepresented, and connect them with contracting opportunities.”
