Powerhouse Panel 2024
NW MUSEUM OF ARTS + CULTURE, JANUARY 2024
Vested’s 2024 Powerhouse Panel kicked off the year with exactly the kind of energy female founders crave - fresh ideas, honest conversation, and a room full of women who get it. Guests arrived early for an entrepreneurial social before settling in for a candid panel featuring four standout business owners from across the Inland Northwest. From skincare and branding to retail, food, and multi location growth, Aly Korchemniy of ANFISA Skin, Heidi Miller of Mango Ink, Jennifer Davis of The Scoop and Hidden Bagel, and Julia Lara of French Toast, Whiz Kids, and Paper Nerd shared real world insights on starting, scaling, marketing, goal setting, and navigating the messy middle of business ownership. The conversation was equal parts practical and encouraging, reminding attendees that there is no single right way to build a successful business.
With bites from Fresh Plate, drinnks from The Bubble Bar, and thoughtful touches throughout the space at the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, the night felt inspiring, approachable, and energizing. A huge thank you to our collaborators and sponsors Electric Photoland, Artifact Rentals, Averson Creative, and Weathers + Associates for helping make the evening one that set the tone for a strong year ahead.
