We are delighted to hold our fifth Business Expo -- this year, for the first time, in Prince George’s County, where the organization El Poder de Ser Mujer as born five years ago. The Business Expo is the realization of our desire to give Latino immigrant entrepreneurs a space where they can interact with hundreds of people and build their businesses. Many of the Latino entrepreneurs participating in the Expo are graduates of our Emprende Mujer program, where Latino start up business owners build capacity and gain inspiration to realize their dreams of launching and building their own businesses. More than 700 women and men have participated in Emprende Mujer and more than 70 businesses have been opened in Maryland, Washington DC, and
Virginia as a result of the program. We are so pleased to welcome many of these successful small business leaders to the Business Expo.
