“This is a great day in Western Pennsylvania,” exclaimed Kelly Hunt, SBA Pittsburgh District director while announcing the award. As a woman entrepreneur, she said she is well aware of what it takes to run a business and recognizes that there is nothing women business owners can’t do.
“I know that we are every bit as strong as any other small business owner, and that we can use all resources that everyone else can use but that does not mean that it is not nice to come to a place where we can meet with other women who understand the same struggles and to share and receive council from them. It’s very empowering.”
