Today we are chatting with Devon Girard and Wendy Curtis from the Northumberland CFDC. 
Getting funding for your business as a woman can sometimes feel impossible. I know I was there. That is when I came across the DELIA program. This program was a lifesaver for my business and the extra programs that came with it were almost worth more than the loan itself.  After this program was started Devon helped spearhead an amazing event called Strike Up, If you have not heard of it you need to check it out.
