    Empowering new American women one step at a time...

AnewAmerica Women's Business Center (WBC), in partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)*, specializes in serving new American women who are socially and economically disadvantaged not only because of their low-income condition but also because of their language and cultural barriers.   We recognize new American women as powerful sources for change and advancement, infusing our society with innovative ideas, energy and spirit.
