"Private sector businesses are key to our state's job creation strategies," Gov. Scott Walker said in a news release. "We are fortunate to have many women who have started a business and now employ their fellow Wisconsinites. I hope that these Trailblazers can serve as role models to other women who are considering opening a business and creating jobs."
