HAUPPAUGE, NY (October 4, 2001) – The Suffolk
County Women’s Business Enterprise Coalition (SCWBEC) will
hold its 4th Annual Tea and Membership Drive Reception
from 4 to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, October 23, 2001 at the Three
Village Inn in Stony Brook, N.Y.
“SCWBEC membership currently stands at 550 women-owned
businesses in Suffolk County and our mission is to enroll
every woman-owned firm registered in the county. Since
membership is free and our role is to connect women with
government and corporate procurement opportunities, this
networking reception is a great opportunity to join the
coalition, as well as meet new people, share experiences
and gain knowledge,” Mary Scott, SCWBEC Chairwoman said.
“We are encouraging our existing members to also bring
potential new member.”
All proceeds from the event will help benefit the SCWBEC
Research and Education Fund. The fund provides grants and
other research services to help women-owned firms succeed.
The reception is sponsored in part by Health Plan of New
York (HIP). Created in 1990, the mission of the
Suffolk County Women’s Business Enterprise Coalition is to
promote women-owned businesses and provide those companies
with access to government and corporate procurement
opportunities and education. SCWBEC provides women with
training and knowledge to compete for government and
corporate contracts, and serves as a mentor for new
business owners. Sponsored by Suffolk County and under the
leadership of County Executive Robert Gaffney’s Office of
Minority Affairs, SCWBEC serves all women business owners
who either reside or maintain their business within
Suffolk County. There are no dues or membership fees and
