Women Business Owners Alliance Helps Members Grow Through Education
When the Women Business Owners Alliance launched in 1982, there wasn’t anything quite like it, Anita Eliason said. “Because there were so few women business owners in the Valley, they felt a need to get together and kind of strengthen their bond and share the experiences they were having that, maybe, were different than the experiences of men in business,” said Eliason, WBOA’s president. “They kind of broke some barriers and did it with a sense of camaraderie with other women business owners.”
