Our Mission

The Marion Women’s Business Council inspires women to reach their full potential through mentoring, networking, education, and recognition.

Marion, Ohio is a community of dynamic women leaders in business. In 1994, a group of women with a sense of need for change formed the Women’s Business Council to foster and promote self-employed entrepreneurial women and women working in the corporate environment.

The purpose was clear from the beginning.
Women need to share their experiences and network their talents.
