We recently hosted Vermont Small Business Development Center’s ‘She Means Business’ event for women in business at our headquarters The Hub CoWorks in downtown Rutland, VT.  THis event hosted women business leaders, entrepreneurs in the making, banking professionals and other concerned stakeholders who wish to advance the work women are doing in our region to build our economy. 

We garnered perspectives from a host of attendees including Sarah Nadler, newly appointed Community Development Specialist at StartUp Rutland, La’Keiah M. Batista Sanchez, Owner of Euphoric Hair Experience, one of the newest BIPOC and women owned downtown businesses.  Also Rutland City Alderwomen and marketing entrepreneur Kiana McClure and Mayor Mike Doenges, fresh from completing the first 60 days of his first term in office. 

Our event was produced in partnership with the Vermont SBDC, StartUp Rutland, The Hub CoWorks, Chamber and Economic Development for the Rutland Region (CEDRR)  and a host of other important regional organizations.
