The Women’s Entrepreneurship Day flagship event is held every November at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City and live-streamed to connect with an international audience, reaching an estimated 1.4 million people. In 2017, Lorraine Schuchart, founder and CEO of Prosper for Purpose, was invited to attend the flagship event. Afterwards she agreed to serve as the first ambassador for Ohio.  

Prosper for Purpose is a public relations and fundraising firm that helps clients achieve social or environmental impact. Lorraine felt that WED aligned with Prosper’s values. She, along with co-chair Lisa Sands, the Prosper for Purpose team, and an advisory board of committed supporters of women across a variety of sectors, have committed to launch the first Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Cleveland this November. 

WED Cleveland will bring established and aspiring women entrepreneurs together to share ideas, spark action and create opportunities for businesses to grow while achieving social impact. An overarching goal of WED Cleveland will be to help women entrepreneurs build companies that can do good and do well, distinguishing WED from other entrepreneurial and leadership seminars.
