💪 Smart women. Strong leaders. Stronger community.

Our Huntington Learning Center of Mentor directors had a great evening at the Mentor Area Chamber of Commerce MEACO - Mentor Economic Assistance Corporation Women in Business networking event, connecting with women who are leading, collaborating, and shaping the future of our Mentor community.

At Huntington, we’re proud to be part of that community—supporting local students and families through personalized tutoring, reading and math support, ACT & SAT prep, and study skills that build skills, confidence, and academic success. 📚💚

And congratulations to our own Carole Elwell, who won a dash cam courtesy of D&S Automotive Collision and Restyling, a great champion of women in our community! 🚗🎉

Thank you to the Mentor Area Chamber of Commerce for bringing local women and businesses together!
