Here in Huntsville, we are saturated with historically male-dominated industries — defense, engineering, aerospace and related fields are typically lacking female representation. But did you know that there’s an Alabama organization devoted to holding intentional space for women in business?
Momentum is a Birmingham-based nonprofit that has been providing Alabama women with development opportunities for over two decades through workshops, networking and more. Beyond this, though, they offer an exclusive group which gives high-achieving businesswomen space for connection and growth both personally + professionally. In the past four years, they’ve grown their presence to include north Alabama women, too.
