“Jumping Off: Women Entrepreneurs Share Their Stories” was held at the White Barn at the Westport Country Playhouse, hosted by the Westport Library and moderated by Selectman Jennifer Tooker.
Participants included Kitt Shapiro, owner of the clothing store West, Jamie Camche, owner of the jewelry store JL Rocks, and Dana Noorily and Julie Mountain, co-owners and CEO’s of The Granola Bar restaurants.
“So many of the businesses in this town are women-owned, and that says a lot,” noted Shapiro, who at 57 finds herself happily following a new dream.
