As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our Mission is to Empower and Connect Women Owned Business throughout Long Island. We Promote, Encourage and Support our members to succeed in business through networking and professional development opportunities.
Suffolk County Women’s Business Enterprise Coalition (SCWBEC) is the only organization of its kind on Long Island. It was established in 1990, by a group of visionary business women to assist Suffolk County’s woman-owned businesses with procurement bid opportunities.

To achieve our mission, SCWBEC works to:
Provide leadership, support and professional development.
Promote business networking opportunities.
Offer the Linda Jasper/Sally Ann Slacke Award to aide a business financially.
Connect members with procurement & business resources .
Provide support for WBE certification.
Raise funds through Sponsorship opportunities.
