Annetta Vickers, T.A.B. Company, Inc.

Most small business owners feel powerless to make change happen.  They either wallow in apathy, or they noisily rant.  After all, what can just one individual do?  Annetta Vickers, president of TAB Company, would not have time to answer such a question.  She would be too busy mentoring other women business owners or planning trips to Jefferson City to influence public policy.  She may even be unselfishly participating in business forums and entrepreneurship programs with the University of Missouri-St. Louis or traveling to Ghana and helping to improve the lives of women.  One thing is for sure.  She is tirelessly serving other women business owners to be the change in the business community.

Here is what others are saying about Vickers:

NAWBO is only a small part of the extensive time commitment Annetta makes to improve the lives of women, not only in St. Louis but abroad as well.  As a successful business woman, Annetta has developed a business model for her company that includes support for local and global organizations and ministries.
