Very simply, Count Me In for Women’s Economic Independence is about all of us – women, men, entrepreneurs, employees – creating our own solution for the economy.  When I started working at Count Me In, I really didn’t care about women’s entrepreneurship and I’m certain most of America never would have.  But, as we’re watching these giants of industry fall, laying off hundreds of thousands of people and then borrowing billions of dollars, the circumstances of history are making it very clear that the success of small businesses is imperative to creating desperately needed new jobs and establishing sustainable wealth on the local and national level.

It’s not just a women’s cause, or a poverty initiative, or a lobbying effort for small businesses.  It’s actually none of those things.  Count Me In, and our work to help women grow successful, sustainable million-dollar businesses, is about employers being able to provide more health care to more employees, about generating the tax revenue to help States pay for necessary services, and about creating a new generation, and next generations, of women who will believe in and accomplish their dreams.
