Women's Leadership Salon

Thursday, April 30, 2026

Salon from 3-5pm

Optional happy hour and open invitation to dinner at Boxyard RTP from 5-7pm

The Frontier RTP, 800 Park Offices Dr., Durham, NC

Inspired by Women’s History Month, every month is a great month to celebrate women’s leadership. April is National Stress Awareness Month and also National Poetry Month. Join us as we explore stress management and share poems that resonate and prompt reflection.

We'll build community, share our challenges related to being women in leadership, generate solutions in peer advisory groups, and support and celebrate each other's successes.

We’re capping attendance and holding peer advisory discussions in small groups to facilitate deeper connections and more focused support.

Come for the salon. Stay for the complimentary happy hour. Extend your conversations and connections with an optional community dinner across the street at the Boxyard RTP.

What You Can Expect:

• Check in, Community Building, and Small Group Instructions
• Small Group Discussions and Peer Advising on Boundaries and Stress Management
• Large Group Debrief and Key Takeaways

• Optional Happy Hour at The Frontier and Community Dinner at Boxyard RTP

Optional Add-On Events: Happy Hour at The Frontier, which offers two complimentary glasses of wine or beer. Salon participants are welcome to join their co-hosts, Marie and Katherine, for a Community Dinner across the street at Boxyard RTP following Happy Hour (self-pay).
