January 22: Monthly Women's Rise Together Circle



Women Rise Together Circle is a monthly morning gathering designed to create a welcoming space for women to connect, reflect, and support one another. This is not a traditional networking meeting or pitch session. Instead, it is a circle of shared experience, where women can build meaningful relationships, celebrate wins, navigate challenges, and grow together—professionally and personally.

Whether you’re a business owner, professional, nonprofit leader, or community advocate, this circle offers a chance to start your day grounded, inspired, and connected.

What to Expect:

• Authentic connection and conversation
• A supportive, judgment-free environment
• Opportunities to share, listen, and be seen
• Community over competition

Come as you are. Leave feeling supported, energized, and empowered.

Getting Fair Share of 2026 Games Benefits: South Bay Mayors Roundtable
