Connect Events

Connectors, our entrepreneurs need your savvy business advice! Women's Initiative hosts Connect Events to help our graduates improve their networking and entrepreneurial skills to further grow their businesses. These events are an excellent opportunity to connect successful business professionals like yourself with Women's Inittiative graduates.Our graduates are eager to meet with you and learn from your business experience and expertise.

Connectors make a real difference in the success of our program and our graduates. Our research shows that graduates who actively participate in our post-graduate program through Get Connected events and other activities earn nearly $9,500 more each year than those who do not.
