A huge thank you to Melissa Jones for hosting an unforgettable LifeBridge Workshop on Banking for Business Success! 🏦✨

As Vice President and Senior Business Banker at Enterprise Bank & Trust—and author of Claim Your Comeback—Melissa brought incredible expertise to our community.

The evening flew by, and our participants walked away energized, informed, and eager for more!

To our donors and volunteers: It’s because of your generosity and dedicated support that we can bring industry experts like Melissa to our community. You make these empowering, skill-building opportunities possible! ❤️
