Happy National Women's Small Business Month! https://thehill.com/changing-america/respect/diversity-inclusion/574960-women-who-own-small-businesses-are-happier
October is National Women-Owned Small Business Month.
Quote from WIPP President & CEO, Candace Waterman in Forbes this week!
“We can’t emphasize enough how disastrous it would be for Congress to consider a government shutdown if consensus cannot be met in advance of the funding deadline. Small businesses are especially vulnerable and many would not survive a government shutdown at this time due to the pandemic, particularly with the rapid spread of the Delta variant, and trying to move from crisis to recovery,” wrote Candace Waterman, President & CEO of Women Impacting Public Policy in a letter to U.S. House and Senate leadership. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rhettbuttle/2021/10/04/defaulting-on-the-national-debt-ceiling-would-be-catastrophic-for-small-businesses/?sh=7b065e743bf2
If the debt ceiling is not raised in the coming weeks, the U.S. will default on its debt for the first time in its history and that will be catastrophic for small businesses.
