Mavis Creagh, R3SM, Inc. (Recover, Rebuild, Restore SE MS) & Mavis A. Creagh Consulting
As a woman in business it is important to be poured into and supported. I believe this is one of the key components of WBPOPB. I have learned a lot from the group about other women but also myself and professionally for the better.
Christy Amay, Amay Jewelry Designs & Repair
We were able to open our store with a ton of support from this group. I don't think we would have been as successful as we were with our grand opening without the WBOPB!
Jennifer Clark, Emerge Events
WBOPB has helped me survive as a business owner! Business ownership is a roller coaster and having this group of women to support me and my business has been life-changing.
