EWBC University of Dallas Frisco Campus was the place to be this past weekend. As one participant said, “Being in the room with so many CEO’s was exhilarating! What an opportunity this was just to hear the wonderment, hops and dreams, and witness the process of these, Ladies of Faith.”

It was an information network and business camp that was a ground breaking event for business owners and CEO’s to boost their bottom line and for future entrepreneurs to learn the inside track to launching a successful business operation. The value of the camp was the mentoring and networking by all of the attendees.
