The women of #AWEP have arrived in Chicago for this year’s #IVLP program! Over the next three weeks, they will visit local businesses, business incubators, schools, and non-governmental organizations across the country. Once they return home, the women connect with AWEP chapters in more than a dozen countries, where they work with AWEP alumnae to mentor women in their communities and share their experiences. The U.S. government is committed to empowering women and supporting entrepreneurship to spur economic growth around the world.
