We created a spontaneous coffee catch up and you showed up for the most amazing time with less than a week’s notice. So we’re back with another last minute, spontaneous event. Join us for a pizza networking night at Pino Pinelli’s - known for their wood fired pizzas. This will be an inclusive, low key night full of community, and an amazing opportunity to meet new friends. At its core, Girls Who Boss is built on a simple and well-supported idea: *When women have access to strong, intentional support networks, they are better positioned to thrive - professionally, creatively, and personally.* Networks influence far more than career progression. They shape how women access information, perspective, opportunity, and confidence across many areas of life. These connections often become places where we test ideas, refine values, learn from one another’s decisions, and make sense of complex seasons - whether you’re creating a business, chasing your career dreams, or working on personal development, this is the space for you. We can’t wait to see you there.
