Felena Hanson celebrates 15 years of community and coworking at Hera Hub.

Felena Hanson, founder of Hera Hub, has been named the 2025 Women in Business Champion of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration.

Darin Andersen from The San Diego CoWorking Alliance (SDCA) announced two major initiatives following their recent meeting: CoWorking Week (August 9-16), which will open member spaces to the local business community, and the AI Reinvention Initiative that will transform coworking spaces into educational hubs for workforce development.

Operating since 2011, the SDCA brings together workspace leaders dedicated to fostering entrepreneurship and innovation through collaborative environments. Eight member spaces Ansir Cowork, Aquillius Innovation Hub, CoWork + Connect, Firestation Innovation Cowork, Ivy Street Cowork, NEST CoWork, Downtown Works, and Hera Hub, will participate in these initiatives designed to showcase the value of shared workspaces and advance technological skills throughout San Diego.

Julia Westfall shares how on May 6th Hera Hub DC will turn 10, and that they have a new community leader starting June 1st, and that they’ll be relocating their office – giving members a new way of coworking via a partnership.

Here’s to the next spin around the sun!
