We are thrilled to invite you to a special Members-Only gathering, designed to connect and empower women business leaders who are shaping the future and building lasting legacies.
Join us for an evening of connection, collaboration, and celebration at the historic Galleria Park Hotel, an iconic venue that symbolizes resilience and entrepreneurial spirit. This hotel, which rose from the ashes after the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire, was once a hub of innovation during the Prohibition Era. It is also the birthplace of the globally celebrated Martini in 1920, a testament to the power of reinvention and vision.
At this exclusive event, you'll have the opportunity to meet fellow women business leaders, Board Members, corporate partners, and community champions who share your passion for uplifting businesses in the Bay Area. Together, we will cultivate relationships that inspire growth, foster support, and promote collective success.
We encourage you to bring a guest who aligns with our mission and values, someone who could be a valuable addition to our dynamic community.
