MEET THE WOMEN MAKING WAVES IN ARIZONA

Peter,

Join us on Thursday, May 15th at Saltbox in Tempe for Beyond Business: Women Who Venture––for what is sure to be an evening of insightful conversation and community connection centered around women moving boldly in business and in entrepreneurship.

Presented by OneAZ Credit Union, this installment of Beyond Business puts the spotlight on a powerhouse lineup of Arizona women who are making bold moves, leading innovative ventures, and challenging the status quo.
