Center (WBAC) is to provide counseling, training, management
and marketing assistance to women business owners both
existing and start-up in Mobile and Baldwin Counties in
Alabama, with additional services provided in Escambia
County, Florida.
The WBAC works very closely with other programs in these
areas which assist small businesses, such as the Chambers
of Commerce and Small Business Development Centers. Through
its membership in the National Coalition of Women's Business
Organizations, the WBAC is in constant interactive communication
with women all over the country who are promoting the
welfare of women entrepreneurs. The WBAC was an original
participant in developing the Online Women's Business
Center. The WBAC is located at the Center for Entrepreneurial
Excellence in Mobile, Alabama.
