The List: Monthly Events for Women - March 2021
A curated list of Female Empowerment Events, just for you.
With International Women’s Day just around the corner, I invite you to check out some of the virtual Female Empowerment Events happening this month. Browse The List below, and be sure to RSVP if you find one (or more!) that piques your interest. Each one is a great opportunity to network with like-minded women despite the pandemic, and make life-changing connections in a safe space.
While not all of these events are exclusively for women, they’re here for a reason. Perhaps the event features a successful female founder, or maybe a strong woman speaker is taking the lead on a topic that is relevant to me… and you. Whatever the case, I hope to see you there!
Note: Some of these events are targeted to new graduates or women whose careers have just begun, while others are only relevant to senior executives or those in leadership positions. I recommend researching the speaker and topic before you commit.
Please come back often as this list is updated several times a month.
