The Women’s Foundation of Montana launches Powerhouse Montana as a resource clearinghouse for entrepreneurs.

Good business connections rely on top-notch networking — and the Women’s Foundation of Montana http://www.wfmontana.org/ launched Powerhouse Montana as a resource clearinghouse for entrepreneurs.

PowerHouse Montana Initiative aims to connect women with mentors, resources and opportunities through a searchable database.

"If you’ve been wondering what will fuel the next phase of economic growth and social innovation in Montana, look no further," said Jen Euell, Women’s Foundation of Montana director. "It’s PowerHouse Montana."

Euell had some help unveiling the new resource on Friday evening — opening day of the second annual Pay Equity Summit at Montana Tech: Meredith Walker of Smart Girls; Governor Steve Bullock; and PowerHouse Live Speakers Diane Smith of Whitefish, June Noel of Missoula, Pam Haxby-Cote of Butte, and Sheena Rice and Kate Olp of Billings.
