As women in Montana, we're no strangers to working hard. It's what we do – we're used to putting our heads down, making things happen, and doing the work without much fanfare. And for me, that makes acknowledgement of my work ethic and commitment even more special.
Each year, the Great Falls Development Alliance – along with community partners – celebrates exemplary women in business with the Fire Within Award program. And while The Front Agency is a new brokerage that got its start in fall 2025, it was an honor to receive an Aspire Award at their 2025 event. The Aspire Award is given each year to a woman business owner who has been in operation one to five years and started a new venture.
To the Great Falls Development Alliance, thank you for celebrating female business owners and reminding all of us of our strength, drive, and creativity. To my fellow award winners, it's an honor to stand next to you.
And to the women of The Front Agency, you inspire me daily, and I'm so grateful to work alongside you.
