The Women Presidents\u2019 Organization (WPO), an international peer advisory group for $1 million dollar-plus, women-led companies, launched a new chapter in Saratoga Springs at KeyBank, 21 Congress St., Saratoga Springs.<\/p>\n

Local WPO chapters are coordinated by a professional facilitator and meet monthly to share business expertise and experience in a confidential setting. Members in non-competitive businesses tap into the collective wisdom of their peers to advance their business success, according to the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen-owned and women-led businesses represent a growing sector of the Saratoga Springs and the global economy. This new chapter of the WPO will help a group of fast growing Saratoga Springs women entrepreneurs build their businesses in an ever-changing global economic context,\u201d said Bonny Boice, chapter chairwoman and president of\u00a0 <\/span>BGB Consulting and Retreats LLC.<\/p>\n

\u201cSaratoga Springs is an important partner for businesses in North America and throughout the world. Women-led companies make up an increasing share of significant economic growth,\u201d said Marsha Firestone, Ph.D., founder and president of the WPO. \u201cWe are confident that the Women Presidents\u2019 Organization\u2019s expansion into Saratoga Springs will provide key resources to a dynamic group of women business leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

WPO membership requires annual revenue of at least $2 million ($1 million for service-based companies) and an ownership interest in the company.<\/p>\n

The Saratoga Springs Chapter of the WPO is currently recruiting for membership. Interested women business owners should contact Boice at bonnyboice@gmail.com or 859-1272.<\/p>\n
