WOMEN'S COUNCIL OF ENTREPRENEURS was co-founded by Ali Everhard and Melissa Rouswell, serial entrepreneurs who discovered a need for a group that supported women entrepreneurs as they started and developed successful businesses. The idea for a group began as the two friends were talking about being entrepreneurs and their own personal ups and downs in their journeys.
WCE is a place for women entrepreneurs that is focused on business development webinars and workshops that every entrepreneur needs to succeed. WCE gives all women an opportunity to connect with other entrepreneurs and share experiences as well as a way to promote their own businesses. You don't have to do this entrepreneurial journey alone. Join us! We are stronger ogether!
