"It's so important for small businesses just to be able to get your name out there and connect with others and then do events with each other and just kind of growing through word of mouth," said President of the Bean Brewhouse in Lake Ariel Danielle MacDaniel stated.
"This event is about giving women those actionable insights. How can we learn from each other? Giving them the real tips on how we can actually make some actionable changes and grow your business sustainably and profitably," said Melissa Roberts, Owner of the Ski Shack in Moosic and Founder of the Wild Wellness NEPA.
The women's small business summit also featured workshops and a variety of small business vendors.
