Meet Julie Brock!
Executive Director, Cradle 2 Career

Julie is a passionate advocate for education and workforce development in our region, leading the Cradle to Career initiative as the Executive Director. She spent sixteen years in K-12 education as a high school English teacher and after earning a Master’s in Human Development, shifted into the workforce development field.
In her words: "I believe Olmsted County will grow and prosper by ensuring all residents, current and future, see their work as valuable and aligned with their individual strengths, passions, and skill sets. This starts with equitable access to the valuable resources we have at the ready in our community."
We agree!

What is the WE Forum?
The Women Entrepreneurs (WE) Forum was launched in 2019 to provide free educational programming for women who are running a business, as well as those who are seeking to start a business. The idea started as a partnership between Saint Mary's University and the Rochester Area Economic Development Inc. (RAEDI), and in 2020, the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce joined as a partner. This partnership is indicative of the desire and commitment of all three organizations to support new business start ups and ensure they have the right training and networks to succeed.
What Happens at our Events?
Each month we hear from speakers who have deep experience in the topic to be discussed. There is lots of room for questions from the attendees to ensure the discussion is relevant, informed by experience, and addresses the real questions women have when running a business.
Why Join Us?
These events have proven to be valuable networking and learning event for women business owners. It is a chance to hear from those who have faced the same challenges and hear how they navigated those challenges to become successful entrepreneurs. Join other Rochester area women who are passionate about their ideas and their business. You may find your next client or business partner!
