It’s time! The Vermont Women’s Fund is ready for its annual celebration! We hope you will join us this year as we recognize Vermont’s women entrepreneurs and inspire the next generation to grasp the reins for even further success.
It all happens on Wednesday, October 4, at the UVM Davis Center
in Burlington from 5:30 – 7:30 pm.
Once again, we thank Jane Lindholm, from
Vermont Public Radio
and host of
Vermont Edition
, for being our unparalleled mistress of ceremonies. She will guide our program as we introduce
Komal Minhas
, star of the film,
Dream, Girl
to you and our Vermont audience.
Dream, Girl
, is the documentary on women’s entrepreneurship that we have shown all over the state in the past year.
Engaging, articulate, and altogether inspiring, Komal was featured in
Dream, Girl
as the budding entrepreneur from Canada who eventually becomes the business partner of the filmmaker. You’ll get to see an excerpt of the film before hearing from Komal and discover why the Women’s Fund is such a major proponent of this work.
Komal will be joined on stage on October 4 along with another inspirational leader, Tiff Bluemle of
Change The Story
. The work of
Change The Story
is being discussed throughout Vermont and its research on the status and potential of women-owned businesses on Vermont’s economy is particularly cogent in this context.
To that aim, we will hear from a panel of women entrepreneurs who have achieved great success and others who are working toward that goal. They are: Allison Hooper, founder of
Vermont Creamery
, Mary Evslin, Entrepreneur and Angel Investor, and Corinne Prevot, Founder of
Skida.
It’s a dynamic evening that celebrates the work of the Vermont Women’s Fund, our goal to leverage the power of philanthropy and the important role YOU play in helping women and girls achieve their full potential.
