I wish there were more incentives in place to encourage big businesses to use women-owned small businesses.

Right now the wosb certification is just a racket. You have to pay a ton of money to a third party to get certified, and the support they provide is a complete joke. They have mixers you can go to where big companies have their supply chain people there, but no one gets any real business from those events. The big companies only do it to pay lip service to supplier diversity without actually having a diverse supply chain.

I’d like to see actual tax incentives for using all diverse suppliers, not just the tiny segment in place now.
