The Forum’s Impact: Speaking Up, Growing Together
As a John Maxwell Team certified leadership trainer, speaker and coach, the co-host team and I build camaraderie, enhance public speaking skills, and expand leadership capacity, while fostering mutual support among Veteran and non-Veteran women. This is a complimentary monthly member-led virtual or in-person meeting held 2nd Wednesdays at 7:30 a.m. Arizona time.
During the "2ndHr," from 8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m., we focus on building relationships and fostering support for one another.
We look forward to having you and your team join us!

Join us Thursday, May 28, 2026, at Achieve in Tempe, Arizona - or online - for another inspiring and impactful Summit you won’t want to miss.
This year’s theme dives into the power of personal branding as the cornerstone of influence and effective leadership. When you know who you are and what you carry, you can lead with clarity, courage, and impact.
Designed to empower women at every stage, this summit is a space to connect with trailblazers and changemakers, exchange insights that spark growth, and sharpen the skills that will elevate not only your journey, but also the lives of those you serve.
Whether you’re an experienced entrepreneur, building something new, or a professional advancing in your career, you’ll leave inspired, equipped, and ready to lead from a place of authenticity and strength. Together, we rise, we lead, and we influence—always.
