We can’t wait to see you for coffee and connection.
Welcome to an intentionally designed morning of connection, conversation, and community hosted by Sarah O’Brien Hammond & Beth Kruger, co-leads of The Network of Women at Hula Lakeside.
This isn’t your typical networking event. Our monthly coffee gatherings are created to offer a warm, welcoming space where women and gender diverse folks can connect authentically, share ideas, and build relationships that feel genuine and supportive.
While our coffee meetups are a bit more casual and less structured than our luncheons, they are still rooted in intentional networking—giving you the chance to meet new people, deepen existing connections, and start your day with inspiration and possibility.
Whether you’re new to the community or a familiar face, you’ll walk away with fresh connections and meaningful conversations that extend far beyond the morning.
