| Description: | The Allstate Minority and Women Emerging Entrepreneurs (MWEE) program creates opportunities for individuals leading minority-owned and women-owned enterprises into advanced stages of development. The program’s mission is to construct a pathway that enables minority and women entrepreneurs to move their companies to the next stage of development. The Allstate Entrepreneur Support Program uses the principles of the Allstate MWEE Program but brings the resources directly to the entrepreneurs’ neighborhoods in order to have a larger impact — this is because the focus is on one designated business community. The first pilot was conducted in the Kensington/Bailey business district. |
