WBE History

WBE Board

The Women’s Business Exchange was founded in 1979 by Donna Nunn as a place for women with powerful ambitions and varied talents to share business opportunities.

Almost thirty years later WBE is still going strong.

Today, our members are a diverse group of women (and a few brave men). Some are business owners, some are employed professionals, and some are in transition between the two. Wherever you stand, our mission is to help you find ways to combine spirit, leadership and a deep sense of community to create greater success.

We help you achieve business and personal growth through networking, professional education, leadership training, mentoring and exposure to community issues, business trends and vital business concerns. We also partner with other organizations in the community to offer you access to even more powerful resources—often at discounted rates.

Our Organization

An all volunteer 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, WBE is run by a volunteer WBE Board of Directors and Executive Board. Each of our breakfasts and events are completely volunteer organized and run. We invite you to consider volunteering to assist the board members in a variety of tasks that will help you build relationships while making a valuable contribution to the organization.

WBE Mission
WBE is committed to creating a community of compassionate leaders. We empower women to grow personally and professionally by providing opportunities for leadership, networking and mentoring. We conduct business on a foundation that recognizes our common human spirit and the desire for universal acceptance.

WBE Objectives

Provide a safe, nurturing environment for women to achieve their potential
Provide a forum for the exchange of information, expertise and business opportunities
Develop leadership and business skills through volunteer, program and board opportunities
Promote mutual mentoring for women at all stages in their careers
Explicitly encourage members to do business with each other
