WEE was founded by entrepreneur Joan Henry, who birthed the idea from her passion to motivate like-minded women in business. Henry comments, “Things are tough for business owners which is why the event has FREE admission. We recognize that business owners need other business leaders to keep them motivated.”

She continues, “This will be done by providing practical information, hands-on experience and the chance to do true networking with these business leaders in order to remain motivated, keep others employed which plays a part in continued economic growth for various communities that touch many parts of Maryland and I may add “we have a great location to do it.”
