The CCBC Women’s Expo is all about promoting Women Owned or Operated   businesses. Networking and growing business to successful levels. We strive to offer opportunities to gain support from and to give support to other women. We are all about educating women… Show more to make the most of their skills and teaching them to utilize the businesses around them.
For Vendors the CCBC Women’s Expo is not just a two-day event, it is a year round program, offering resources and support to help market and grow your business. At our Free Exhibitors Workshop, exhibitors (and anyone thinking of exhibiting) learn how to gain customers and an audience. We also offer a free follow up workshop to help determine what worked and what went wrong and how you can change it for future expos.
The CCBC Women’s Expo is an event that offers several platforms and resources to reach the businesses and the consumer. Exhibiting is a part of that process.
Through our women’s events, programs, services, and activities, we address women’s issues and acknowledge women’s achievements. One exhibitor is awarded an Award of Excellence for her/his dedication to the Women’s Expo and to Women in Business and Education. This award is presented at the CCBC Enterprise Institute Appreciation Luncheon.
The Women’s Expo won an Aawcc National Award. We have donated over $30,000 in scholarships and awards; and continue to keep women in touch with businesses that have what women need to make the best of their education and continued growth in business.

Marianne Williamson
- speaking on –
 
Transforming Ourselves, Transforming Our World
 
The spheres of spirituality and social change have begun to merge, a la Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., as people we are taking more and more seriously the injunction that we must "be the change" we want to see happen in the world. In this special workshop, Marianne Williamson explores the interface of personal and global transformation - a healing of the world from the inside out - and how every individual unique and important part to play in it.
 
Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed author and lecturer. Six of her ten published books have been New York Times Best Sellers. Four of these have been #1 New York Times Best Sellers. A Return to Love is considered a must-read of The New Spirituality, and her quote from that book beginning, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure" has become a spiritual anthem for a generation.
 
She founded Project Angel Food, a meals-on-wheels program that serves homebound people with Aids in the Los Angeles area. Today, Project Angel Food serves 1,000 people daily. She also founded a grass roots campaign to establish a United States Department of Peace.
