This Women Entrepreneurs Conference entitled ACCESS, will take place from October 7-9 2009 in Washington, D. C. and will launch a network of entrepreneurial mentors who will in the coming years support activities providing access to markets, to finance, to information and to training for women throughout the region.  We will be connecting aspiring women entrepreneurs with successful women entrepreneurs who will develop mentoring relationships over time; we will be linking with financial angels, logistical partners for importing goods; trainers and educators; companies who are interested in buying new lines of products/services from Latin America; and companies who know about marketing and branding.
