We host meetings that you actually want to attend. We know how busy our members are.
The women in corporate are wearing multiple hats in the office and volunteering on non-profit boards. Our Female Entrepreneurs are also wearing multiple hats and most of the time have other businesses. Do you feel seen???
No meeting in outdated convention spaces. We meet at new event spaces, we bring in fun activations and we have intentional conversations to foster connection.
GIVE THE GIFT OF A MEMBERSHIP
Pay it Forward
There is nothing more meaningful than providing another woman an opportunity to advance in their career.
