For our first-ever Celebration of Impact, we gathered over 70 special guests—business owners, community leaders, corporate supporters, and friends—for an evening dedicated to connection, community, and celebrating the women shaping the future of business. Hosted at Bar Carlo, the SE Portland gem owned by Melinda Archuleta (one of the inspiring business owners featured in our 2024 Impact Report), the night was all about organic conversations and genuine connections—no panels, no speeches, just the magic that happens when women in business come together.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in honoring Women’s History Month and the impact of women-owned businesses across Oregon.
