Celebrating Dreams: Strength in CommUNITY

Thank You for Attending!

Celebrating Dreams is an opportunity for participants to connect with other female entrepreneurs, mentors, community partners, resources, and leaders. The event launched on May 1st and concluded on June 30th, 2021 - all while celebrating female entrepreneurship.

Celebrating Dreams launched with an online showcase of woman-owned businesses that displayed their products and services all in one place.

We hosted free webinars every Thursday in May with a focus on increasing diversity and growing your business.

We had an incredible virtual evening of celebration, connection, and opportunities for women in business. Our panels included, "Recovery Ready Case Studies" with Kim Tinuviel, Ea Murphy, and Brenda Wilson, and "The Economic Value of Woman-Owned Businesses" with Janice R. Greene, Ph.D., Erika Borg, Liliana Paredes, and Kate Isler.
