We intend to be the bank of choice for women-owned businesses in Massachusetts and throughout the Northeast," said Robert J. Higgins, President of Commercial and Retail Banking at Fleet.

The report, produced jointly by the Milken Institute and The National Women’s Business Council, both independent, non-partisan entities, ". . . recognizes what we have believed since the inception of the Women Entrepreneurs’ Connection — that access to capital is one of the most critical issues facing women business owners today. It also recognizes that The Connection is delivering that access," said Cavanagh.
