The Fort Wayne Women's Bureau announced Monica Hughley is the new director of its Women's Enterprise program, which promotes the growth of women-owned businesses in the community.
Most recently, Hughley was the director of Syracuse University's Southside Entrepreneurial Connect Project and Innovation Center, the Women's Bureau said in a statement. She previously was president and owner of Brown Holding Group LLC, a chemical distributor, and was a senior sales representative at Mays Chemical.
Women's Enterprise offers business counseling, mentoring, training, and technical, financial and procurement assistance. Since its start in 1999, Women's Enterprise has served more than 3,000 men and women.
"There has never been a more important time to help others in our community become self-employed," Hughley said in the statement. "By increasing opportunities and independence for the women and men of our community, Women's Enterprise at the Fort Wayne Women's Bureau helps create new jobs within northeast Indiana, and that's sorely needed in today's economy."
Community members can meet Hughley at a Women's Enterprise open house that will be held from 4-7 p.m. Wednesday at the Fort Wayne Women's Bureau, 3521 Lake Ave.
