Welcome to the Washington Business Woman Pages
"More women than ever before hold senior executive
positions and sit on corporate boards. The top financial-service
firms are busy developing new products and services for a
generation of professional women who manage substantial
portfolios, who use their tremendous buying power with sharp
business acumen, and who will outlive their husbands by a good
number of years."
Fast Company magazine, August 2002
The time is right to be a woman and to be in business.
