Description

An evening to celebrate the stories of women empowered businesses and to reconnect as a community after two years of social distance. We are excited to convene our first in-person Summit in over 2.5 years. This is an evening of connecting with women-empowered businesses and organizations over local food and beverage at Hula, a coworking and innovation campus in Burlington. "Necessity is the mother of invention", the proverb goes and as we transition into a new phase of the pandemic, we take this opportunity to reflect on what progress has been made for women in business. The theme for the Summit is MotHER of Invention and on this evening, we will have 6 women-empowered businesses share their journeys, tapping into how their businesses address consumer, cultural, societal, etc. needs. Our featured speaker for the evening is Sascha Mayer, CEO and cofounder of Mamava.
