Rochester, N.Y. – A new event is promising to be a stepping stone for women-owned businesses in the area.
Women entrepreneurs gathered at the SUNY Brockport Small Business Development Center on Tuesday for the “EmpowerHER” event, offering opportunities for networking, mentorship, and community support.
The event is designed to provide them with critical resources and strategies to navigate the challenges of balancing business growth with personal well-being.
“When women own businesses, they treat their businesses like family,” said Stephanie Pennington, the director of DEI & supplier diversity at LeChase Construction. “They obviously treat their family like family but sometimes they forget about taking care of their whole self. This is about elevating your business and becoming that holistic CEO of your own life.”
