The Florida Women's Business Center was spotlighted on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.  CBS took great strides in getting to know us by coming out to our center and filming our beautiful facility, interviewing our Director Jennifer Brin Kovach and two of our clients Adrianna Martin and Yolanda Goldwire.  This was an extraordinary opportunity for us to share with the nation the needs of the small business owner, how the state of economy directly impacts them and the resources our center has available to help them.
