HARTFORD, CT — The Women’s Business Development Council (WBDC) returns to the State Capital on Wednesday, April 26, to celebrate Women-Owned Business Day.

The public is invited to this event to honor and promote Connecticut’s community of women entrepreneurs.

It will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Legislative Office Building, 2nd floor, 300 Capitol Ave., Hartford.

After being held virtually in recent years due to the pandemic, Women-Owned Business Day returns to Hartford in 2023 for an in-person celebration.

This year’s Women-Owned Business Day will be co-chaired by State Senate Deputy President Pro Tempore Patricia Billie Miller and Chief Deputy Senate Republican Leader Heather Somers.

The event’s title sponsor is JPMorgan Chase.

“We are so excited to bring together Connecticut’s incredible community of women entrepreneurs and our state legislators,” said WBDC Founder and Chief Executive Officer Fran Pastore.

“There has never been a more critical time for these groups to connect to share thoughts and ideas about the issues that impact Connecticut’s women-owned businesses each and every day. It means so much to us to have JPMorgan Chase & Co. as our Title Sponsor. Their continued support of WBDC and women entrepreneurs has enabled us to help so many businesses across Connecticut. I opened WBDC’s first business checking account at a local Chase branch more than 25 years ago. They’ve been behind us since the beginning.”
