Senators Mary Landrieu and Olympia Snowe Announced as "One Woman" National Business Conference Honorary Chairs

HOUSTON  - Today, the Texas Business Alliance (TBA) announced that U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship Chair Mary L. Landrieu (D-La) and Ranking Member Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine) will support the One Woman™ National Business Conference (One Woman™) as honorary chairs.  Landrieu (right) and Snowe (below) head the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, which develops legislation and examines messages, petitions, memorials, and other matters relating to the Small Business Administration (SBA).
 
"We are pleased to support the small business development efforts of the Texas Business Alliance," remarked Senators Landrieu and Snowe. "Small firms pump almost a trillion dollars into the economy each year, create two-thirds of our nation's new jobs annually and account for more than half of America's work force. Our economy depends on the health of our 27 million small businesses. We must focus our energy on strengthening our nation's small businesses, which are key to revitalizing America's economic prosperity."
 
One Woman™ is a TBA small business development program to be held Thursday, August 6, through Saturday, August 8, at the Omni Houston Hotel, Four Riverway, Houston, Texas 77056.

The program is scheduled to include intriguing and educational general sessions, interactive workshops, a tradeshow, entertainment and networking mixers, and a Soaring Heights Awards Brunch recognizing exemplar women's enterprise programs.

The One Woman™ National Business Conference helps provide this vital guidance and support for local women small business owners."
