 About ACBWA |
|
In the past decade, women were given unprecedented opportunities to become an active force in promoting the development of new economy in China. Women business owners have reached 20 million people in China.
In the U.S., One in 11 adult women is an entrepreneur. Nearly half (48%) of all privately-held U.S. firms are 50% or more women-owned. This means that 10.6 million firms are at least half owned by a woman or women. These firms employ 19.1 million people and generate nearly $2.5 trillion in sales.
With ever increasing economic globalization, there are more shared interests and common goals, instead of competitions and rivalries between American and Chinese businesses.
The concept of America - China Business Women Alliance (ACBWA) came about from the First Annual Conference of America-China Women Business Leaders in 2005, organized by parent organization, America-China International Foundation (ACIF). ACBWA will be a membership based subdivision of ACIF. The goal of ACBWA is to promote friendly relationship and mutually beneficial business opportunities for women business leaders from two most important economic powers, America and China.
Through a variety of annual programs and efforts, ACBWA will:
- Promote communication, affiliation, and business opportunities between women business leaders in the United States and China.
- Improve global women's rights of equality, political and social status, and influence over economic decisions.
- Provide a platform to address the key challenges and solutions posed by entrepreneurship, management, and family responsibilities of women cross cultures.
