2025 Spring Summit
May 16th at Music Hall in OTR
If your group would like to purchase a table, please email Missy at the Music Hall box office!
You will need your table’s names, email addresses for each guest, and lunch selections if they are general admission seats!
For the makers seeking community. For the mothers starting to create their dreams and don’t know where to begin. For the women who feel isolated in balancing entrepreneurship and being. For the corporate women who are seeking like minded fellowship.
Every woman deserves to be seen, heard, and loved. That is the foundational belief of the Power to Pursue Summit, our annual event where women gather to eliminate barriers and embrace the power of their authentic selves.
Our fourth annual Summit will welcome a lineup of electrifying speakers, each determined to help you pursue your calling. At the Power to Pursue Summit, vulnerability is strength, community is a superpower, and you are the key to creating the life of your dreams.
