Outgoing SBA Administrator Karen Mills (MBA 1977) noted, "Women-owned businesses are the fastest growing segment of new businesses in our economy and the trend is growing. Under Carla's leadership, the NWBC will be an effective advocate for women-owned small businesses, ensuring they have access and opportunity and make a strong impact on creating jobs and growing our economy."
Said Harris, "I'm honored and delighted to lead the National Women's Business Council, especially during a time when women are creating businesses at such a fast rate. I look forward to working with a dedicated group of knowledgeable women who share a common vision for increasing opportunity for female business owners, and strengthening the pipeline of women aspiring to achieve as producers, innovators, and leaders."
