But in the past few years, I\u2019ve immersed myself in the business and nonprofit communities and found an incredible network of women who lift each other up. Downtown Frederick is an amazing place for women to grow, thrive, and create meaningful change<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Karen<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>Downtown Frederick is a vibrant and exciting place to be! Being here has allowed me to connect with so many women in business through consulting services, networking events, and community projects. Having a downtown office in the ROOT building, right in the heart of the county, enhances our organization\u2019s professionalism and helps us support more business owners<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Karlys<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>Living downtown gives you such a strong sense of community. My days are truly filled with joy as I watch the town come alive. Whether it\u2019s grabbing coffee with friends, attending events, or simply walking along Carroll Creek, I feel connected and empowered by the people around me<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How have women in Downtown Frederick supported and uplifted each other?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alex<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>Last year, Woman to Woman Mentoring participated in the Women\u2019s History Month Proclamation at Winchester Hall, and soon after, we were nominated for Organization of the Year by the Frederick County Commission for Women. This community continually works together to support and uplift one another<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Karen<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>Women in this community understand that collaboration is key to success. I see women forming business partnerships to create events like girls\u2019 nights out, wellness experiences, and book clubs. A great example is Tina Harper of Dream Free Art partnering with Crystal at Crash and Catharsis Rage Factory to bring unique experiences to the community<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Karlys<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>We thrive on fun events like Galentine\u2019s Day and Breakfast at Tiffany\u2019s, but we also make sure to support female-owned businesses and causes.

Representation matters, and we have to keep ensuring this remains a safe and thriving place for all women<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Karen<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>By creating more opportunities to showcase women-owned businesses through partnerships, encouraging larger companies to buy from women entrepreneurs, and providing affordable and accessible real estate leasing options<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Karlys<\/strong>: &#8220;<em>Women are included at every level of business and government in Frederick.
