This year’s gathering will be a warm and inspiring morning experience, featuring a beautifully curated brunch experience as we come together to celebrate women of impact, leadership, and service in our community.

We are especially honored to welcome Mrs. Tracey Artis as our Special Guest Speaker. Tracey is a renowned CEO, music executive, philanthropist, and Cincinnati native whose career spans leadership across media, arts, and national civic organizations. A highly decorated and widely esteemed leader, she has received numerous honors recognizing her influence and impact across the country. Guests can expect to be truly inspired by her powerful voice, lived experience, and commitment to uplifting communities.

This meaningful event will also honor outstanding community leaders Dawn Bailey, Carrie Caldwell, Danielle Gentry, Arielle Nelson, Chaka Powell and Kyla Woods for their commitment to service, leadership, and community transformation.

This event is more than a celebration. It is a fundraiser that fuels mentorship, leadership development, and youth programming that continues to change lives across Greater Cincinnati. Your partnership ensures that we can expand our reach, strengthen our programming, and continue building the next generation of confident, purpose-driven young women.

It would not be possible to continue this work without the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community partners like you. We invite you to invest in this mission and stand with us as we pour into the future of our girls and our communities.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support Ladies of Leadership. We welcome the chance to connect with you, answer any questions, and explore partnership opportunities that align with your values and impact goals.
