PRIME SPONSOR
junebird creative
junebird creative helps small businesses figure out what to say, how to say it, and where to go next. We partner with founders and small teams who are tired of second-guessing their brand and piecing together marketing on the fly. Through brand clarity work and ongoing advisory, we guide businesses to uncover who they are so they can show up more intentionally for the people they serve. The result? A stronger foundation, clearer messaging, and marketing that feels aligned and actually moves the business forward.

PRINCIPAL SPONSOR
Minnwest Bank
Simply put, you are our first priority. We’re a family-owned banking operation that’s big enough to get large deals done and small enough to truly listen and work with you as you work toward your individual goals. We have first-hand knowledge of the challenges and risks you face, and most importantly, we’re building lasting relationships with doers like you every day. We don’t just say our customers come first, we live and breathe it. That’s our commitment to you.
