PROCLAIMING NOVEMBER 19, 2021, AS "WOMEN'S ENTREPRENEURSHIP DAY"
IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the
following determinations:
1. The Port St. Lucie Business Women have operated as an independent organization,
separate from any national or international entity,free to set forth its own mission, goals,
and agendas. From four Founding members in 1980, they have grown strong and evolved
into a professional women's organization representing a variety of businesses and levels
of management, government officials, entrepreneurs, and women business owners.
2. Their continued commitment to the community while providing leadership through
action has been steady throughout their history and continues strongly today.
3. Their 40th Anniversary Brick Pathway Project brought in critical funds throughout the
pandemic, continuing to provide much needed Community Grants and Scholarships for
local women and children. In 2020, PSLBW awarded their highest number of Grants to
these local agencies.
4. Recognized during Women's Entrepreneurship Day, they stand as a strong example with
its large majority of women owned small businesses. Women in business provide and
promote revenue to their community and support local organizations, schools, and
Community Projects. They inspire and create more opportunities and mentorships for
other women and young girls to succeed. They have offered seminars and other
community programs to address the concerns of business women and offer learning
opportunities for community members, as well as provide career mentoring to young
women.
5. Beginning their fourth decade, the Port St. Lucie Business Women continue to support
and serve many communities needs in a positive manner.
