Discussion Title:
Rooted in North Dakota, Raising Main Streets Everywhere: How NDWBC is Shaping Tomorrow’s Economy

Event Description:
North Dakota is often underestimated—but behind the grain elevators and quiet highways, a powerful movement is underway. At this Wednesday Lunch, we welcome Christy Dauer, Executive Director of the North Dakota Women’s Business Center, to share how her organization is driving growth that reaches far beyond our borders.

Christy will discuss the practical steps NDWBC is taking to cultivate resilient businesses, strengthen local economies, and inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs—women and men alike—who believe in building their communities from the ground up. From Main Street revitalization to statewide impact, you’ll hear how intentional support, proven resources, and a clear vision are shaping an economy that doesn’t rely on trends but on discipline, courage, and shared purpose.

Join us for an honest look at what it means to invest in the backbone of commerce—and why North Dakota’s model is catching attention across the region and beyond.
