Throwback to our Director of Marketing & Operations, and our VP of Human Resources at the Executive Woman Business Leadership Conference a couple weeks ago — a premier event designed to elevate women in leadership and drive meaningful change across industries hosted by Executive Woman Media.

This year’s conference brought together dynamic women executives for a day of authentic dialogue, strategic insight, and leadership development. From navigating the evolving workplace to fostering inclusive cultures and building resilient teams, the sessions sparked powerful conversations and actionable takeaways.

👏 We’re proud to be part of a community that champions real leadership, real stories, and real results, and we can’t wait to attend again next year!

In a year that’s tested teams across every industry, we’ve learned that resilience isn’t just about bouncing back—it’s about showing up, staying connected, and moving forward with purpose.

A few weeks ago, our team gathered at Jailbreak Brewing in Maryland for a happy hour that was more than just a break from the day-to-day. It was a celebration of how far we’ve come — together!

We shared stories, laughter, great food, and even better beer. We reconnected not just as colleagues, but as people who care deeply about the work we do and the team we do it with. And that’s why we do what we do!
Want to know what it’s like to work on our team? Reach out today. We’d love to tell you more! 🍻
