Women in the 1%

When the “1%” is discussed images of Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are imagined. They all have a few things in common, gender being one.

When does the “1%” relate to women? In the world of business, less than 1% of global corporate spend goes to women-owned businesses. That is women’s claim to fame in a “1%” category.

Organizations like WEConnect International are the next generation of business groups. Offering training, skill development and certification to a network of women owned businesses, WEConnect International take it to the next level matching corporate RFPs to women owned businesses within the network.

Providing information on RFPs to women owned businesses so they may submit their proposals is a critical step in the right direction.

RPM is proud to be part of this growing community.
