• To promote the affinity group of women-owned businesses, sole proprietorships, and women professional members of the ARCC and to encourage increased business and collaboration among its ranks; thereby attracting more women-owned businesses and women professionals to the ARCC;
  • There has been a 114% growth of women owned businesses over 20 years (1997-2017 per Amex State of Women Owned Business Report)
  • Women Owned Businesses lag all business by employee and revenue growth (2% and .2% respectively)
  • The ARCC is an essential tool for the community.  Many women who have no experience in networking or chamber membership may be attracted to an affinity-based welcome.  In addition, women-owned businesses that are not familiar with the work of the *new* ARCC can rediscover its power.
• To support, collaboratively, the educational outreach and mission of other local women’s business communities, specifically, neighboring chambers;
• To develop mentoring/education/opportunities for growing vision of women-owned enterprise, women-owned sole proprietorships, and women professionals in the ARCC service area;
• The work of the Council will, explicitly, steer clear of social or political activism.
• The work of the Council will, at all times, defer to the authority of the President of the ARCC.
