Leadership in Heels: Power in Every Step

Step into an evening that celebrates the strength, influence, and presence of women who lead.

Leadership in Heels is a Women’s History Month experience designed to bring women across our community together for connection, conversation, and celebration. Set in the historic elegance of The Savoy, this event creates a space where leadership is not just discussed—but seen, shared, and felt.

This night is about more than being in the room. It’s about what happens because of it—new connections, renewed confidence, and a reminder of the power each woman carries in every step she takes.

Your support helps bring this experience to life while sustaining the work that continues long after the event ends.
