Event Description:
The Greater Des Moines partnership is excited to team up with the Iowa Women's Business Center to bring you First Fridays! The goal of First Fridays is for the aspiring entrepreneurs and the people of Des Moines to hear from business owners and entrepreneurs who have helped shape the communities in which we live. The speakers are makers, store owners, movers and shakers, creators of regional or national brands, and all have stories that are uniquely their own.
For over 20 years Mary Anne Kennedy has owned and operated Primary Source, a promotional product business she purchased from the retiring owner back in 1997. Primary Source works to build brands by displaying company logos and other information on a variety of gifts and promotional products – from pens and mugs to padfolios and power banks!
