The Women’s Enterprise Initiative began in 1996 as a joint venture between the City of Newton Planning and Development Department, New England Women Business Owners (NEWBO), and Pine Manor College.  At the present time, WEI operates under the umbrella of the City of Newton.  Its Executive Board consists of two City employees and three volunteers — the same volunteers who began WEI with the City of Newton eighteen years ago.  Two are past-presidents of NEWBO and the third is the former Director of Entrepreneurial Studies and Assistant Professor of Management at Pine Manor.  WEI seeks to assist women in developing successful businesses.  Learn about the WEI Executive Committee.
