Women Business Owners Council-Financial Health of Your Business & How to Plan for the Future

To further empower and uplift women business owners in southeastern North Carolina, the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to introduce the Women Business Owners Council. The vision of this council is to foster an inclusive community that empowers, educates, and propels women entrepreneurs forward. Our goal is to create programs that offer valuable learning opportunities and encourage the exchange of expertise among women business owners. By addressing the unique challenges faced by women in business, we aim to advance female entrepreneurs and stimulate economic growth.

Please join us as we welcome Roy Bechtold from Raymond James, as he discusses the financial health of your business and how to plan for the future. 

Roy Bechtold is a Financial Advisor with Raymond James, in the firm’s Wilmington, NC branch office. Prior to beginning his career in financial services, he served 21 years in the United States Marine Corps as a Marine Special Operations Officer. His years of service instilled in him a deep sense of leadership, commitment, discipline, and dedication. These values were the foundation of his military career and continue to guide him as a financial advisor trainee. He brings the same level of discipline, commitment, and dedication to helping individuals, families and businesses work towards their financial goals and secure their futures.

Roy received his undergraduate degree from the United States Naval Academy in Mechanical Engineering and was on the Varsity Football and Rugby Teams. He received his Master of Business Administration degree from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

Membership in this council is exclusively open to women business owners who are current members of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce. Invitations will be extended upon completion of the interest questionnaire. There is no additional cost to participate.
