Our annual Women’s Leadership Brunch continues to inspire and engage our strong women business leaders throughout the Pittsburgh North region.

This signature event brings together more than 150 (and growing!) intelligent, courageous, fierce, creative and professional women in an energetic environment where friendships and relationships blossom and bloom.

Along with a traditional brunch buffet, the event includes a panel of diverse, exceptional women with unique backgrounds, careers, and stories to further inspire and motivate a culture of inclusivity and sisterhood.

Guests also participate in a “Meet & Move,” which is a well-organized table rotation enabling guests to mingle and network.
