"People do business with people they know."

It's the 25th anniversary of the Women's Business Council Southwest! To talk about the importance of the organization as well as why women really need to network, Chanel is joined by Debbie Hurst, president and CEO of WBCS, and Sharon Evans, owner and CEO of CFJ Manufacturing.

What does the Women's Business Council Southwest do? Why is diversity so important, not just in employees but also suppliers? How can a strong network benefit you more than some certifications or training programs?
