Community Futures North Okanagan is introducing Momentum, a new women’s business accelerator.

“There are some really inspiring women in the program,” says Missy Dobernigg of BX Press Cidery and Orchard.

“Running a business can be isolating. You’re never off. Having that international time to connect with other women entrepreneurs running the same grind is mentally uplifting.”

Momentum offers opportunities to:

• Actively participate in a peer mentoring group
• Access specialized professionals to help you overcome knowledge gaps and funding for business development
• Achieve your goals through a structured business process and custom action planning
• Receive target support and establish through ongoing one-on-one professional coaching
• Gain confidence in all areas of your business through training opportunities on topics such as leadership, goal-setting, financial management, conflict management, human resources, market expansion and more

Momentum is now accepting applications for its October intake.
