Shout-outs & Shameless Plugs

• Maven Collective, a pioneering female co-working and event space, opened its doors in June to the community with a soft launch. This innovative space is designed to empower moms by providing a professional and collaborative environment where they can work alongside their children. With an onsite children's center and nanny services, Maven Collective ensures that moms can be productive while staying close to their little ones. As we gear up for our grand opening later this summer, we invite you to join us in celebrating this milestone and the vibrant community we're building. Stay tuned for more details and get ready to experience the future of co-working at Maven Collective! Check out the 7/18 Grand Opening event.
