Our community loves spending time together in person. Yes, we have three days of Women in Retail Leadership Summit magic, and our regional On the Road events, but we wanted to give the members of Women in Retail Leadership Circle (WIRLC) even more time to gather and build relationships. So this year we launched Women in Retail Leadership Circle Meetups.

These small events allow our exclusive community of executive-level women who are passionate about making meaningful connections to come together, network, and support each other at a local level.

The quarterly in-person meetups, which are led by a local member who serves as a volunteer ambassador at a local venue, have provided an excellent opportunity for members to share experiences, exchange ideas, and build relationships in a space that allows for personal and professional growth.

So far we’ve launched meetups in Philadelphia, Boston, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Columbus and Los Angeles! Haven’t made it to one yet? Here’s what’s coming up:
