About Us

BACKGROUND:
The Women’s Development Council, Inc. is a nonprofit organization, formed in 1983 by businesswomen in Northern Colorado. Our founders saw the need in our community for opportunities for women to develop their business skills through education, networking, and community service. During the first few years, the Women’s Development Council, Inc. provided educational and motivational seminars to assist women entering the workforce and established businesswomen in furthering their careers. The seminars led to the creation of separate businesswomen’s groups in the various cities in Northern Colorado so that businesswomen may meet, learn, and share new ideas on a more frequent and individualized basis. We now oversee and assist four businesswomen’s groups in Northern Colorado, encompassing more than 250 businesswomen. Our meetings are well-attended by our members and the public at large. Each group provides its own unique opportunities for women to grow personally and professionally by learning from strong businesswomen in the community.

MISSION STATEMENT:
The mission of the Women’s Development Council is to develop, organize, and promote activities that educate, encourage, support, and enhance the development of women in business.
