SHE Connects Starter Package

Are you a start-up business, a woman who is unable to make the regular leads group meetings, or is your business category taken at every leads group and you want to be at the top of our wait list?

You likely already have heard about how different the SHE community is and how it is designed especially for women who want to empower and support other women. We are women who have a lot to give and believe that our influence and impact are strengthened when we learn and network together. We are women who strive to learn all the time because we know that’s what it takes to stay relevant.

SHE Connects is for:

• Start-up businesses who are not yet eligible to be in one of our leads groups - start-up businesses can really benefit from being a part of SHE Leads! You'll get connected to amazingly supportive women, receive valuable training for start-ups and optional coaching.
  
  
• Women who cannot make our regular bi-monthly leads group meetings - some business owners depending on their line of work, cannot make our bi-monthly meetings. We still want you to be able to connect with the supportive women of SHE Leads Group. Receive the value training and networking events that matter to you.
  
  
• Women who cannot find their business category open at other leads groups - you may be on every leads group wait list. They may forget about you. We realize that everyone can benefit from the various other networking events and trainings that SHE Leads Group provides. Being in SHE Connects puts you at the top of our wait list when a spot in your area opens up and you meet the eligibility requirements.
