A New Chapter with the Women’s Business Owners of North Florida

In our journey as business owners, we often learn that the most significant growth doesn’t happen in isolation – it happens when we pull up a chair to a table of our peers.

It is with a heart full of pride and excitement that I share some wonderful news: I have been officially accepted into the Women’s Business Owners of North Florida (WBO).

As a woman-run business ourselves, joining this historic organization is more than just a professional milestone; it is a commitment to the vibrant community of entrepreneurs right here in Jacksonville and across Northeast Florida.

A Thriving Landscape in Jacksonville

To understand why this step is so meaningful, we only need to look at the incredible industry leaders in our own backyard. Jacksonville’s business landscape is currently undergoing a beautiful transformation, driven largely by women who are turning their visions into reality.

When we look at the data for the Jacksonville area, the impact is breathtaking:

• The Scale: There are approximately 6,805 women-owned businesses currently flourishing in our region.
• The Proportion: These leaders make up roughly 23% of all businesses in Jacksonville.
• The Economic Heartbeat: Together, these businesses have generated over $5 billion in revenue and provided jobs for more than 50,000 of our neighbors.

These aren’t just statistics; they represent families supported, innovations sparked, and a local economy that is becoming more robust and diverse every single day. This trend mirrors a national movement, but seeing it thrive in Northeast Florida makes it personal.

Why We Believe in the WBO

The WBO is the oldest and most respected women’s entrepreneurial organization in North Florida. Their mission – to inspire women business owners to grow through networking, education, and support that deeply resonates with us at Open Sky Agency.

We’ve always believed that leadership is a lifelong study. By joining this tribe of women, we aren’t just looking for networking opportunities; we are looking for ways to foster high ethical standards and bring back cutting-edge insights to our clients.

When one of us grows, we all grow.

An Invitation to My Fellow Founders

If you are a woman in business in the Jacksonville area and you haven’t yet found your community, I want to gently encourage you: don’t walk this path alone. The WBO is a place where “community over competition” isn’t just a phrase – it’s how we do business.

If you’ve been looking for a place to sharpen your leadership and find a support system that truly understands your journey, consider joining the WBO today.

We are so proud to stand alongside these 6,000+ leaders as we continue to build a foundation for Northeast Florida that is as strong as it is inclusive.

Cheers to growth, to Jacksonville, and to the women leading the way!
