Women in Business

Across the United States, over 20% of all business are owned by women, and with Florida having the highest number of womenowned businesses, it is natural to see local events promoting female entrepreneurs. On July 12, The Palms Coffeehouse in Destin hosted the monthly Women in Business event. Sponsored by Waypoint Title, LLC, Salt Water Vacations and HomeFi Digital Mortgage, the coffeehouse was packed to the walls with people and vendors.

“We love to support women-owned businesses and our goal tonight is to promote brand awareness and we hope everyone enjoys the vendors and the networking opportunity,” said Angie Wright, VP Account Executive, HomeFi Digital Mortgage. With vendors displaying everything from plants to clothing, attendees were able to shop while they handed out business cards. In addition to the vendors and a mirror photobooth, Shelter House had a pop up of purses as a prelude to their annual fundraising event: Purses With A Purpose. Dozens of people attended the monthly event, setting the tone for more successful Women in Business gatherings at The Palms of Destin Resort & Conference Center.
