September 7, 2024 at
The Palomar Cincinnati

Get your tickets here for Saturday's Summit and Friday's Dinner with Rachel Cargle!

As we continue to hear from our Power to Pursue community, you all are constantly telling us you want to learn more about a few topics. As a way to be able to dive deep, we are proud to announce the second annual Power to Pursue Women's Well•Being Summit September 7th! Mark your calendar and buy your tickets now!

This event is hyper-focused on the financial, mental & sexual well•being of women. These can feel like taboo subjects, even among our friends, but they are not.

During this full day event, we deep dive into each topic. We will listen to incredible panels and engage in a robust presentation on each topic, educating us and normalizing these conversations. There will be time for questions and answers after each panel and presentation.

Lunch is included with a networking Happy Hour at the end of the day.

Here’s what you can look forward to:
