ABOUT DCBW

DeSoto County Business Women is an organization made up of female business leaders in the community who connect through fellowship, leadership opportunities, and various community service projects through local non-profit organizations. We strive to develop ourselves both personally and professionally, while creating a network that makes an impact in our community. Through this organization, we have been able to distribute scholarships, create a women’s business closet, and honor women striving for excellence in business.
