Meet the Women Behind
The Powher haven Community


With a passion for connecting women leaders and entrepreneurs, yet also in the midst of a pandemic, Dana Calcagno was longing for a way to connect more authentically with other professional, driven women business owners and entrepreneurs in Rochester. Starting with a private Facebook Group, Dana recruited other professional and savvy Rochester women to help grow her idea. It wasn't long before a community of women was formed - one with a goal of gathering women together to support one another in business, network with each other, promote their businesses through speaking engagements and marketing opportunities, and so much more.
