It’s hard to believe the first quarter of the year is done! Our members continue to show up as a community in this time of uncertainty and change and I’m excited to share some of the highlights and upcoming events with you.

Events

All of our chapters have been creating events that are both meaningful and productive. Coffee and Connections in Fort Worth provided our members with opportunities to connect before starting their workday. In San Antonio, attendees honed their Mahjong skills. Austin facilitated networking and enjoyment at the Linc. And after a hiatus, Houston is back hosting events. The energy and enthusiasm at all these events have been amazing and I’m eager to keep the momentum going!

Chapter Growth

We are thrilled to welcome an incredible wave of new volunteers across all our cities. Their dedication and passion are already making a meaningful impact, organizing events that bring our members together, spark conversations, and build lasting connections.

To every volunteer who has stepped up, shown up, and put in the work: we see you, we appreciate you, and we couldn’t do this without you.

If you’ve attended an event recently and felt inspired, chances are a volunteer made that moment possible. Want to be part of something bigger? Join us and help shape the experiences that make our community thrive.
