Congresswoman Claudia Tenney to provide introductory remarks leading up to a panel discussion on how credit impacts business growth for entrepreneurs

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As part of its “Score A Better Future” financial education program, leading applied analytics company FICO (NYSE:FICO) will be participating in the 2022 National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) Advocacy Days on June 8, 2022. Special guest Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) will join Karen Bennetts, founder of Little Red Bird and the incoming chair at NAWBO, to provide introductory remarks prior to the FICO-hosted panel on credit education. Bennetts; Marsha Barnes, founder and CEO of The Finance Bar; Katie Vlietstra Wonnenberg, vice president of Government Relations and Public Affairs at NASE; along with Joanne Gaskin, vice president of Scores and Analytics at FICO, will discuss how better understanding credit can empower female business owners to gain access to credit.

“As a small business owner, I am thrilled to participate in such an important discussion on how credit impacts entrepreneurs,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “Financial education empowers women to better understand and advocate for their business goals and needs.
