19 local business owners and entrepreneurs gathered for their monthly Women in Business meeting Feb. 24.

Facilitated by Alison Watkins, Event Manager for Los Alamos MainStreet & Creative District (LAMSCD), the event featured guest speaker Beth LaRue, Marketing Manager at UNM-LA, who cultivated a lively discussion and presentation on “Marketing for Small Businesses.”

Del Norte Credit Union sponsors this networking group as a way to bring needed content and resources to this vital segment of the Los Alamos business community.
