The Women’s Rural Entrepreneurial Network began in 1993 as a course project of three women enrolled at Vermont’s Springfield College. They wanted to create an organization that could make a difference in the lives of women living in a rural area. Their idea was to create an alternative job-training program that could assist low- income women in achieving business ownership. Today WREN includes over 610 members and 275 woman-led affiliated businesses.
