This week, OBW members heard from Personal Stylist Lauren Co**ha. Lauren touched on popular topics such as color analysis, trends and proper fit, but also encouraged us to find confidence in what we wear — and to have fun with it!

Thank you, Lauren, for an empowering program!

Leadership transitions are a special reminder of what makes Owatonna Business Women so strong — women who step up to serve, lead, and make a difference in our community. 💙

As we welcome our incoming board members, we are incredibly excited for the fresh ideas, passion, and leadership they’ll bring to the year ahead. Thank you for saying “yes” to serving and helping continue the mission of supporting, empowering, and connecting women in business in Owatonna.

At the same time, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to our outgoing board members. Your time, energy, leadership, and behind-the-scenes work have helped shape OBW and create opportunities, connections, and growth for so many women in our community. We are so grateful for the impact you’ve made and the countless hours you’ve dedicated.

Please join us in celebrating both the incredible leaders passing the torch and those stepping into new roles. Here’s to building on a strong foundation and an exciting year ahead! ✨

Blown away, way to end National Volunteer Month with a bang! 💥

Thursday night - we gathered, we packed, and we made an impact.

Owatonna Business Women members, community members, and Community Pathways came together (over 28 of us total) and assembled 60+ period packs for individuals in our community.

That’s 60+ moments of dignity.
60+ reminders that people care.
60+ notes of encouragement and love.
60+ ways we showed up for our neighbors.

There’s something really powerful about a group of people choosing to spend their time giving back—and Thursday night was exactly that.

HUGE thank you to Grapeful Wine Bar for hosting us and Blast Soft Serve Owatonna for the snacks!!

Congratulations to our door prize raffle winner Claire Stewart, thank you for the gift card prize Owatonna Shoe!

To everyone who came, donated, invited a friend, or supported in any way—thank you. This is what community looks like.

Let’s keep showing up 💛💛💛

It was truly inspiring to see our lounge filled with volunteers coming together to make a difference. Thank you for supporting this mission and for making Grapeful Wine Bar your community gathering spot!
