Making an Impact

The Women Initiative at BMC, we are dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs at all stages of their journey. Our initiative, launched in April 2024, aims to provide a supportive community and resources to help women achieve their business goals. While we are just starting, our vision is to support 300 women-owned businesses in our first year, offering mentorship, networking opportunities, and educational workshops. We believe that by empowering women entrepreneurs, we can create a more diverse and inclusive business landscape, driving innovation and economic growth in our community.
