Connecting & Promoting Women (CPW) is vibrant networking community designed for women seeking to cultivate strategic alliances and heart-centered connections to foster the growth of their organizations.


At Connecting & Promoting Women, we believe in the power of collaboration, support, and shared wisdom. Our community serves as a nurturing space where ambitious women entrepreneurs and leaders come together to exchange ideas, resources, and experiences. Whether you're a seasoned business owner, a budding entrepreneur, or a corporate executive with a passion for innovation, you'll find a welcoming environment tailored to your professional journey.


What sets Connecting & Promoting Women apart is our emphasis on strategic partnerships infused with empathy and authenticity. We understand that success isn't just about numbers; it's about building meaningful relationships that fuel personal and professional growth. Our members have the chance to forge connections with like-minded women who share their vision for success.

Connecting & Promoting Women

Connecting and Promoting Women

Meets 2nd Thursday of the Month

8:45–10:30 am

Connecting And Promoting Women

Our unique format allows our attendees to learn from our educational speaker and connect with our personal story speaker. We also provide an opportunity to do small group networking and brainstorm for a pre-selected dreamer.


A group of women who were fans of “Wise Women Connect,” along with others who were fans of ESPW – Encouraging Supporting Promoting Women, shared that they MISSED the closeness they had felt within these two communities after they stopped meeting.


Gateway to Dreams jumped on board to help their friends recreate that closeness with a NEW group, Connecting and Promoting Women, in January 2016 with over 100 Women. This group continues to meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month. Usually, it has around 40 women (and a few men) in attendance.


Regular attendance at this event is a member-only benefit; however, visitors can attend twice before a membership is required.


Cost:

Your first visit is complementary. After your first visit, it is $25 for guests.


There is no additional cost for members. It is included in the membership.
