About Beth
Beth Henriquez, MSW, is the Executive Director of Enterprise for Equity, where she has worked since 2006 in roles including trainer, business coach, Loan Officer, and Program Director before stepping into her current leadership role. With more than 30 years of experience supporting entrepreneurs, Beth is deeply committed to helping people gain the skills, resources, and confidence to turn their business ideas into sustainable livelihoods. 

Her passion for small business started young in her hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan, where trips to local stores and markets with her father taught her the value of knowing and supporting business owners. That early lesson continues to guide her work today: fostering programs that are inclusive, accessible, and human-centered.

Beth believes that starting a business requires courage, creativity, and resilience — and she finds joy in walking alongside entrepreneurs as they face fears, overcome setbacks, and bring their dreams to life.
