WE Fellowship Committee - Taylor Morgan (Vice Chair), Nicole Fuller, Kate Mick (Co-chair), Jessica Derenbecker (Co-chair), Caroline Robichaux, Kristyn Harris, Ashley Robinson (Vice Chair) Missing - Michelle Van Vleet. The committee was very excited to be able to have the finalists pitch in person with a limited audience and adhere to the CDC guidelines. Pitching in person gives the finalists a more similar experience to other events they may have in their future. We also had over 100 attendees online to hear the pitches and learn about the companies. Photo by Nicole Fuller
