We gather one Thursday evening a month for networking and "something else" - sometimes it's a topical discussion, other times it might be an activity or a speaker. We also have door prize drawings plus a 50/50 CASH raffle to support another local nonprofit. Our nonprofit this month is Sleep Heavenly Peaceful- https://shpbeds.org/chapter/nv-reno/
Our regular monthly meetings are free to attend but purchasing dinner, drinks, or dessert from one of the host businesses is always encouraged. We will be meeting upstairs so plan ahead. (Elevator is near the front entrance, the Plumb Lane side, to your left when you walk in.)
This meeting is open to all female business owners or entrepreneurs. You are welcome to join us and we encourage you to invite a friend who you think would also benefit from this supportive group.
New things to expect in 2026:
1. Vendor tables! We will have up to 4 vendor tables available at each meeting. EMPWR Collective members can purchase a vendor spot for just $25. Members exhibiting can bring products to sell or information to share with all who attend.
2. Self-introductions - we are growing but do want to build back in time at each meeting for people to briefly share who they are and what they do. There will be two opportunities at each meeting for people to do self-introductions.
One is to bring a guest. If you bring a first-time guest, both the member and the guest will be able to introduce themselves. The other is to bring a prize for the door prize drawings. Everyone who donates something will be allowed to introduce themselves and announce what they are giving away.
3. We will still feature a nonprofit at each meeting but in 2026 we are going to choose one nonprofit for the whole month. We hope this will help us communicate more about each organization's mission and what we can do to support them.
