Successful women business owners who want to learn from the best are invited to submit your entries into the Ernst & Young's Entrepreneurial Winning Women competition. The program, now in its second year, was created to help high-potential women-owned businesses that are less than five years old accelerate their growth.
The deadline for the Entrepreneurial Winning Women competition is Sept. 4, which is only two weeks away. Winners will be announced the week beginning Oct. 19. Submit your application online.
The 10 winners will get personalized business counseling from Ernst & Young. They will gain access to strategic networks of advisers, investors, and successful business executives and entrepreneurs, and will be able to connect with prospective investors, coaches, and mentors.
The winning women also will receive a free trip to the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum 2009, taking place November 11-15 in Palm Springs, Calif. At the Forum, which is a meeting of high-growth businesses, the winners will get the chance to introduce themselves and their businesses to the community of established entrepreneurs, executives, and advisers. Winners must also be available to attend a prep session in New York City in October.
How do you win in this competition? See this page for eligibility requirements and criteria for selection.
In these challenging economic times, I think it's great that we women business owners have a chance to learn and to make such valuable connections.
