On October 9th, over 2,000 visitors came to enjoy the festivities at this year’s Women’s EXPO and the 77 vendors had something for everyone. Proceeds from the EXPO support the programs and services of the Miller Business Center. We are grateful to all of our EXPO sponsors for supporting this annual event that seeks to connect entrepreneurs with the business community. Sponsors include BankUnited, TD Bank, the Greater Middle Country Chamber of Commerce, HNE Equipment, Small Business Development Center at Stony Brook University, and Times Beacon Record Newspapers. Special thanks to the Women’s EXPO Planning Committee and all of the volunteers who make the event a success.
