ver 300 women and men returned to the long-awaited, in-person Women2Women Conference + Expo on April 20th. The Santander Performing Arts Center, a new venue for the event, proved to be the perfect space for two keynote speakers, three breakout workshops and more than 40 Expo vendors comprised of Women2Women sponsors, womanowned businesses, and local nonprofits. The day kicked off with a celebration of the 2022 ATHENA, Christi Terefenko, co-founder of VOiCEup Berks, nominated by a senior at Wyomissing High School. Christi, proud to accept the award, explained the work she does daily and how many people it has helped. For the first time, the program featured a male keynote speaker, Tyrone Muse, President & CEO of VISIONS Federal Credit Union. Muse shared his professional and personal journey that helped him find his “why” and encouraged the crowd to do the same. Second keynote speaker, Molly Arbogast, owner & founder of POV Sports Marketing, recounted her success story in a maledominated sports world and how to “get out of your own way” for success. Following her keynote, she sat “fireside” to answer questions. The crowd left for the day invigorated by her energy. Continued on page 12 berkswomen2women.com 11
