Trumbull State Rep. Devlin Celebrates Women Owned Business Day at Capitol

Trumbull State Rep. Laura Devlin participated at the Women’s Business Development Council’s second annual Women-Owned Business Day at the State Capitol.

“Seeing all these women business owners today at the State Capitol is encouraging,” Devlin said. “As a business owner, WBDC client and a legislator, I have great respect and appreciation for the work WBDC does to empower women to start and grow thriving businesses in our state.”

Devlin owns and runs a strategic communications and consulting business outside of her time as a state representative. She said the event highlighted challenges business owners must overcome, such as access to funding.

“It’s essential that the state of Connecticut continues to foster a collaborative relationship with women business owners and prospective women entrepreneurs; more businesses mean more jobs for our state,” she said.
