DETROIT – The Great Lakes Women’s Business Council recognized the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Michigan District Director Constance Logan at its Diversity Honors event in Dearborn, Michigan on Monday, September 24, 2018. The Great Lakes Women’s Business Council  presented Logan with the Government Advocate of the Year Award in recognition of her work with the council in advancing opportunities for women-owned businesses.

The Great Lakes WBC is proud to honor corporations, government and corporate representatives and women business owners that support and promote doing business with women and other diverse suppliers.

“Logan’s leadership and support is an inspiration to all Great Lakes WBC members and friends,” said Michelle Richards, executive director of Great Lakes Women’s Business Council.

The Great Lakes WBC is partially funded through the SBA’s Office of Women’s Business Ownership and focuses on empowering women and minorities economically through business development training, supplier certification, business-to-business networking and accessible capital assistance programs.

Logan has worked in the SBA’s Michigan office for more than twenty years, implementing the federal agency’s programs and services aimed at improving access to capital, business counseling and expansion into contracting and exporting. In her current role as district director, Logan oversees the SBA’s resource partners in the state, including 11 Small Business Development Centers, nine SCORE Chapters, three Women’s Business Centers, a Veteran’s Business Outreach Center and seven micro-lenders.
