NEW YORK (AP) — Pamela Prince-Eason isn’t letting women business owners off the hook — if they want more contracts with big corporations or the government, they have to work harder to get them than they do now.

The CEO of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council, an organization that helps women-owned companies win those contracts, says it’s not just corporations standing in women’s way. These owners, even some of WBENC’s members, need to be more aggressive.
