HERWeek hosted by NC CEED and the Women’s Business Center is preparing for its annual HERWeek during Women’s History Month, March 2-8, 2024. NC CEED has opened applications for HERPitch training classes which is a prerequisite for participation in the HERPitch competition. In previous years, pitch winners have been awarded $2,500 to $7,500 in grants.
HERWeek is a week-long celebration of women and their contributions to the community. On HERPITCH day entrepreneurs, who completed a PITCH course and have been selected to participate, present their business idea in a three minute pitch to a panel of judges for the chance to win a reimbursable grant.
Hannah de la Reyes Stevenson of Rosette Visual Art was a HERPitch winner from HERWeek in

I am so grateful for their patience, honest feedback, and kindness!”
