Meet Taylor Pennoyer
My daughter has been on the team, behind the scenes, since 2018. She’s helped to prepare name badges, attended events, and worked the registration desk. Now she’s taken on many new roles from data entry to social media, and much more.
Taylor attended the NAWBO Advocacy Days in Washington DC this June. So proud of her NEXT GEN involvement and her entrepreneurial mindset as the only female welding student in her hometown.

Go 2 Girl is about results and influencing relationships to inspire change.

Diverse Certification
Many business owners aren't aware of the benefits of certification (women-owned, minority-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ) for growth opportunities and value-add to current clients. Go 2 Girl works with clients in document discovery to collect/review the necessary paperwork to submit applications for multiple platforms for certification as applicable including local, federal, state, and third-party entities. You can never be over-certified!
Certification is a minimum 3-month process and can be a stand-alone service but is typically bundled with business development.
We are proud to report 98% guaranteed rating with certification submission approvals.
Paperwork is our JAM! I’m nerdy like that!
