March Mavericks: Unshakable - Strength in Every Season

Last week we honored Women’s History Month with our annual March Mavericks luncheon, Presented by Wells Fargo, centered on this year’s theme: “Unshakable: Strength in Every Season.”  We were hosted at St. Catherine University, and the event featured an exceptional panel moderated by Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and former professional athlete Lea B. Olsen. Panelists included entrepreneur and CEO Larissa Loden; Greater MSP Enterprise Director Ieesha McKinzie Collins; and Minnesota Vikings EVP/Chief Legal Officer Karin Nelsen.  ​

We also were proud to recognize Goff Public as our Celebrating Business Success Award winner, a women-owned and led company, celebrating 60 years in business. Our Celebrating Service Award winner was Women’s Advocates, whose mission is supporting victim-survivors and breaking the cycle of domestic violence.

The stories shared were powerful and deeply inspiring – reminding us that leadership isn’t linear and that strength shows up differently in every season. Genuine, insightful, and compelling, these leaders exemplified what it means to be truly unshakable. “Ordinary” people doing extraordinary things. Well-deserved thanks and congratulations!

See you in the trenches,
B
