A resolution celebrating the extraordinary accomplishments and vital role of women business owners in the United States.

SRES 96 is a non-binding Senate resolution celebrating the economic contributions of women business owners in the United States. It recognizes that women-owned businesses employ over 10 million people and generate nearly $1.9 trillion in annual revenue, while commending their entrepreneurial spirit and highlighting their growth from 4.6% to 42% of all U.S. businesses since 1972. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of their role in the economy. It directly affects public recognition of women entrepreneurs, not specific individuals or businesses.
