El Premio al Emprendimiento del Centro de Negocios para Mujeres se otorga anualmente a una o varias personas que hayan utilizado los servicios del Centro de Negocios para Mujeres del Centro de Asuntos Rurales y que estén gestionando y expandiendo con éxito sus negocios. Este premio ejemplifica el espíritu emprendedor, tan crucial para las empresas propiedad de mujeres y las comunidades rurales de Nebraska donde residen.
