Celebrating Women’s Small Business Month
October is not only the month for the emergence of sweater weather and pumpkin spice, but October is also women-owned small business month. The eGuide team has the pleasure of working with SO MANY women-owned businesses and women-led organizations. Without these outstanding women and their teams, eGuide wouldn’t exist. We love each and everyone of you and want to share a snippet of the work these women provide to their communities and the world!
