VIDA Coworking Celebrates International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is a moment to reflect on the progress made, celebrate the achievements of women and acknowledge the ongoing journey towards gender equality. At VIDA Coworking in Portland, OR, we’re not just observing this day; we’re living it every day by fostering a supportive and empowering environment for women in business.

After all, we need more support than ever as the number of women entrepreneurs grow. For instance, according to a 2023 report by the National Women’s Business Council, women own 14 million businesses in the United States, representing 39.1% of all businesses. 

And of all working women, 46.4% work remotely from home, a coworking space or elsewhere. As we all know, that can be liberating as well as isolating, so the need for community support and #womensupportingwomen is more important than ever. 

At VIDA, we understand these challenges intimately. That’s why we’ve built a coworking space designed to nurture and empower women. Our community is a hub for collaboration, networking and professional growth, providing the resources and support women need to thrive. From flexible workspace options to curated events and workshops, VIDA is committed to creating an environment where women can build their businesses and careers with confidence.

And that environment is credited to one woman: Melanie Marconi, VIDA Coworking’s owner and founder. We’re so thrilled to see how others continue to take notice of her contributions, business savvy and hard work. 

This month, Melanie is being honored at the 22nd Women of Influence Awards, a prestigious event that highlights the remarkable contributions of women leaders in our Portland community. Melanie’s dedication to creating a supportive and empowering space for women is truly inspiring, and we at VIDA are incredibly proud of her and her achievements! If you’d like to attend the event, tickets are on sale now. 

This exciting recognition underscores Melanie’s and VIDA’s commitment to supporting women and fostering a thriving community. We believe that by providing an environment like VIDA, we can help women overcome challenges, build a meaningful network and break more ceilings.

On International Women’s Day, and every day, we’re dedicated to celebrating the power and resilience of women in business. We invite you to join our community here at VIDA and experience the difference a supportive coworking space can make (in work and in life).
