This networking event brings together current and prospective members, local businesses, and corporations to develop professional relationships. It features networking, a limited number of vendor tables (for companies who provide products/services for women of color), and a fireside chat celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. Our panelists will share their stories, journeys into entrepreneurship, lessons learned, and other women who have inspired them along the way. While it is an intentional time for women of color in our community to connect, all are welcome to attend.
