Women's Economic Development Council of Huntsville

Women's Economic Development Council of Huntsville WEDC has been granted a 501(c)(6) status by the
IRS as a non-profit business organization. We value men and women of vision, integrity, credibility and courage.

WEDC is a group of women business professionals that provides opportunities to women for leadership and economic development through education, mentoring, and connecting. WEDC History

The Women’s Economic Development Council (WEDC) was incorporated in February, 1994 for the purpose of providing women with opportunities to contribute substantially to the economic development of our community. WEDC

’s founders, Diane Weston, President of Uwohali, Inc., and Sheri Sensabaugh, President of ACT Personnel, were paired as mentor and protégé
respectively, through an SBA program called WNET in 1992. In addition to accomplishing the WNET goal, Diane and Sheri became very good friends and
together gave birth to the initial concept of the Women's Economic Development Council, or WEDC. Our Values

We value the diverse perspectives, contributions, experiences and abilities of women. We believe in shared leadership, and in equity for all members of society. We promote lifelong leadership learning. We believe that women are empowered by their own actions. We value the recognition of the worth and professional achievements of women. We value a vibrant economy, driven by the achievement and contributions of all members of society.

“I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life and I've never let it keep me from a single thing that I wanted to do.”
— Georgia O'Keeffe

Leadership isn't the absence of fear. More often, it's taking the next step while fear rides along beside you.

Don't wait for confidence to arrive first. Take the next step and let confidence catch up. What's one bold move you're making this week?

This weekend, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Monday is a day of reflection, gratitude, and remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice and for the families who carry that loss every day.

From all of us at the WEDC, we remember and honor their service.
