Polished Austin Informational Event

These days, women don't need another thing on their schedule, another item on their to-do list, or another ounce added to their mental load.
But someone infusing belief in them? A space to hone their skills and troubleshoot their challenges? A place to find community with mission-minded, vision-driven, faith-anchored women? That might actually add value, rather than more pressure.
And that's what we're all about.
We are committed to giving women the community they crave, the professional development they deserve, and the Gospel they need.
So women can live the lives they were meant for - emboldened in their faith and creating an impact with their work.
