加美提升女性企业家和商界领袖咨议会发表首份报告,提出四点建议:
LEVERAGE PUBLIC-SECTOR PROCUREMENT
Improve the existing US Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) program, while initiating a similar type of program in Canada.
EXPAND PRIVATE-SECTOR PROCUREMENT
Enhance existing initiatives to connect women entrepreneurs with corporate customers, while challenging these corporations to set stretch targets and leading them to attract women-owned businesses.
CHALLENGE NETWORKS & ACCELERATORS
Call for bold steps to attract and develop women-owned businesses, while implementing improved tracking and transparency and showcasing successful initiatives that have helped others move forward.
EQUALIZE ‘FAMILY ECONOMICS’ VIA FAMILY-FRIENDLY POLICIES
Encourage both governments to continue to study ways to lower the cost of unpaid care, thereby promoting level economics for starting or scaling a business.
By being so bold—and taking advantage of the opportunities before us—we will not only drive cultural change but we will also move the economies of both nations.
