LPA Monthly Meetup: Latinas & Lakeland: Building Brighter Futures (Oct2025)

If you're a Latina navigating career growth and entrepreneurial ambitions, this one's for you.

This month, we'll gain inspiration and practical know-how from María Boothby from City of Lakeland, a seasoned Latina professional who’s found success balancing a thriving corporate career with entrepreneurial pursuits. Raised in an entrepreneurial family, María understands both worlds—and she’s sharing how you can, too.

Join us for an evening of connection, inspiration, and celebration as we:

• Learn how to maintain a steady corporate career and pursue your business dream
• Discover the City of Lakeland resources available to small business owners
• Connect with fellow trailblazers, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are also on a journey to grow boldly and authentically.

María’s story is proof that you can thrive in the corporate world and build something from your heart—while accessing support that’s already available right here in Polk County.

💛 This is more than a meetup—it’s a movement. Let’s honor the past, celebrate the present, and lead the future juntas!

This meetup is part of our A-la-Carte series, where you can experience LPA without committing to full membership—yet! Come see what we’re all about and explore how LPA can support your journey.

Let’s sip, connect, and inspire—juntas! 💛

Limited spots available—reserve yours today!
