The Center for Women's Business Research, the National Women's Business Council, and Wal-Mart are sponsoring a dynamic new research study and your participation is crucial to its success. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to contribute to dynamic research that will impact the future of women's business ownership in the United States! Just five minutes of your time will help us support the growth of businesses like yours around the country.
The Council is supporting this research, which will measure the economic impact of women-owned firms in the United States, including direct spending and subsequent spending by suppliers and employees. This is the first time that this type of analysis has been undertaken for women-owned businesses nationwide and we anticipate that the results will have a profound effect on women business owners as well as policy makers, corporate executives and organizations which support women-owned businesses.
The study will be based on data collected by the Center in a brief, anonymous online questionnaire. In order for this research to have the greatest impact, the participation of women-business owners from across the country and from all industry segments is needed. This is a unique opportunity to contribute actionable data to the national dialogue on the current and future economic impact of women-owned businesses. Your participation will help assess the contributions of women entrepreneurs across the country and identify potential policies to encourage further growth at this point in time, not four years from now.
Go to https://www.w-bizinsight.org/R.aspx?a=63 to contribute to this research, by answering a brief series of questions about you (age, level of education, race/ethnicity) and your business (industry, years in business, number of employees, and previous year's sales). Your participation should take less than 10 minutes. The questionnaire will NOT request personally identifiable information (such as name, address, or phone number) and responses can NOT be traced back to any participant.
Please feel free to forward this request to other women business owners because the more responses the Center receives, the more impact the research will have! The deadline for participation is Friday, June 19.
(Thanks, WIPP and Laura Boyd for bringing this to my attention.)
