Rep. Correa and House staff members hear challenges women-owned businesses face in a time of economic uncertainty
During the latest Women’s Business Owners Group, Congressional House Member Rep. J. Luis Correa (D-CA) and a staff member from Rep. Derek Tran (D-CA) office attended and heard the many challenges women business owners face today.
Women’s Business Owners Group (The Group), founded by Family Enterprise USA (FEUSA), is a coalition dedicated to highlighting and addressing the unique challenges faced by women-owned businesses in today’s economy. Women-owned businesses employ over 12.2 million employees nationwide, according to recent research from Wells Fargo.
The meeting kicked off with Alysha Loumakis-Calderon, President and Chief Executive Officer, ISYS Solutions, Inc., welcoming Rep. Correa, who attended in person, and Rep. Tran’s staff attendee, thanking them both for participating in the growing organization.
At the meeting, held at the offices of Hydraflow, a manufacturer of low-pressure fluid transfer solutions, each of the dozen attendees gave brief comments on key legislative issues of concern to their businesses, specifically high taxes for women-owned pass-through entities, estate taxes, and California’s high personal income taxes.
Also welcoming The Group to Hydraflow’s offices were Hydraflow’s Cindy Ayloush (Chief Executive Officer) and daughter Sasha Ayloush (Vice President, Corporate Affairs), as well as Kathy Viele Bui and Deanna Bui, mother and daughter, and Frania Bui, of family-owned food service provider Viele & Sons, also of Fullerton, Calif.
Women-owned businesses represent nearly 40 percent of all U.S. businesses, or over 14 million businesses in total, and account for $2.7 trillion in revenue, according to the Wells Fargo research.
“We’re excited to have Rep. Correa and Rep. Tran’s staff engaged in and listening to our concerns on unfair taxes and regulations that hurt women-owned businesses,” said ISYS Solutions’ Loumakis-Calderon about the meeting. ISYS Solutions is a Brea, Calif.-based occupational health services provider. Loumakis-Calderon is also Chairman of Family Enterprise USA.
“The Group’s mission is to amplify the voices of women entrepreneurs, foster collaboration, and advocate for policies that promote equity in business,” said Pat Soldano, founder of the group and President of Family Enterprise USA. “The Group was created to further educate and inform Congress on the importance of women-owned businesses and to work with the bipartisan Congressional Family Business Caucus in Washington, D.C.,” she said. “The Group helps create real bonds between women-owned businesses and our lawmakers.”
