LEADERS, COLLABORATORS, & INNOVATORS AT THE TABLE!

2026 WOMEN IN BUSINESS FORUM MEETING at Women Hold the Key

This month, Mallory Preston Dorman will lead us in a practical conversation about how to talk about what we do, build trust, and selling ourselves without being pushy.

We’ll explore how selling can feel more like serving: being clear about what you offer, building genuine relationships, following up in a way that feels natural, talking confidently about pricing, and knowing when something simply isn’t the right fit.

Women-owned businesses in small towns represent a powerful force in local leadership. They bring together entrepreneurship, community knowledge, and relationship-based leadership to drive economic opportunity and sustainable development.

We will have an opportunity to get to know each other and connect over our shared challenges and wins of having a business on a small island. We’ll figure out together what we need and how we can work in community to make all of our businesses sucessful and sustainable in this challenging world!

Please bring business cards and let us know what you are up to, have thoughts about how best to develop this group and how often you would like to meet.
