Helping women leaders who want to be in the room where it happens
Where women build power
This isn’t a membership, this is a movement.
Leave the heels at the door (unless that’s your thing) and step into Elevate Las Vegas—a bold community where driven women leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizers like you build real power, real skills, and real connections.
What we do at Elevate Las Vegas is simple:
1) We CURATE women-owned business and women-centered events in Las Vegas to make it easy for you to know what's going on and decide who and where to meet other local ambitious leaders and entrepreneurs, and
2) We CREATE experiences for you to learn and elevate your business and leadership skills, elevate your wealth for more time and financial freedom, and elevate your network because your network = your net worth.
We know you’re not just here to swap business cards in yet another boring networking group. You want to open doors, multiply efforts, and move mountains with women who actually care.
Why we exist
a.k.a. You can’t be in the room if you don’t even know it exists—and you can’t be invited if people don’t know YOU exist
The deals, the introductions, the “next-level” opportunities—they’re happening behind closed doors you were never told about. And nobody’s going to come knockin’ on your house and hand you an invitation.
We get it, “networking” sometimes feels icky. But a curated and activated network? It changes everything.
It’s not just a contact list; it’s your inside track to:
Conversations you didn’t know were happening
Resources you didn’t know existed
Authentic connections you didn’t know were possible (with the impact-makers you didn’t know you needed)
And opportunities you could never have imagined
Including deals and dollars that you should have access to
That’s the power of Elevate.
Most groups give you a room...
Elevate gives you the introductions, skills, and support to thrive in it.
(But YOU still have to choose to walk in. No more hiding at home, okay?)
(Best part: Joining doesn't cost you a penny.)
And you don’t have to cold “network” or prove you’re already an “influencer” to belong here.
We make the introductions, we set the table, and we hold the space so you can skip the awkward small talk and go straight to learning, connecting, and taking action.
This isn’t a performative club; it’s a network built on real equity and real impact—
A place where every woman, from rising leader to seasoned executive, can plug into collective power, gain skills, and access opportunities that reshape the landscape.
(Whether that’s fighting for change in your own backyard or pitching a national initiative.)
So, no, you don’t have to roll in with a TED Talk or a million-dollar idea to belong with us.
…But you do have to show up, turn out, and participate for an activated network to work for you.
Elevate is built for every kind of bold.
What matters is that you care, you show up, and you’re ready to plug into a network that meets you where you are and helps you grow from there.
Come as you are, bring whatever size dream you’re carrying, and know that you’re welcome at the table.
(No membership dues required.)

Our community in action
Elevate Las Vegas was built for you: the women fed up with the status quo but who still believe that big change—in your workplace, your community, or the world—is possible.
We get you. (We are you.)
Smart. Driven. And f*cking TIRED.
Tired of holding everything together solo-style. Tired of feeling like the only one in the room who cares or wants something different. Tired of showing up to “networking” events that drain more energy than they give.
Here, we offer something different: We open the doors, make the introductions, and deepen the conversation so you can focus on learning, connecting, and taking action.
We handle pretty much everything for you, except showing up. (That part’s on you.)
We explicitly center
diversity and social justice.
Our community includes women of color, marginalized voices, and allies who understand that true elevation means everyone rises together.
We believe friends
refer friends.
The strongest professional relationships grow from authentic connections built on shared values
and mutual respect.
So, whether you’re an entrepreneur building businesses, a corporate executive driving change, a community organizer addressing systemic issues, or a professional woman who cares about more than just your bottom line, you belong here.
Let’s be clear
This is for…
1) Successful, ambitious entrepreneurs who are building amazing businesses and are tired of being alone.
2) Successful, ambitious corporate and non-profit leaders who want thought partners to talk about what it's like to be one of the only women at the top.
…And we’re not a paid membership.
We’re not talking about joining yet another women's group with a membership fee.
Our purpose is to assemble women entrepreneurs and leaders in Vegas who are individually making big things happen in their respective communities, because collectively we move mountains.
You’re already a leader. And we know how lonely it can feel at the top.
So come join us; it’s better together.
Your first few steps are simple:
1.
Join the list
2.
Show up
3.
Feel the difference
…that an activated network makes.

FAQ
Is Elevate Las Vegas a paid membership?
No. We’re focused on building the most powerful network of mission-driven women leaders in Vegas and making it easy for you to plug in. Joining the email list is free and gives you first access to events, workshops, and opportunities.
Some events may have a fee, like our upcoming educational workshops centering on themes like perimenopause/menopause, ADHD, burnout, etc., but there are no dues or membership dues.
Who is Elevate Las Vegas for?
Elevate is for women leaders, organizers, and entrepreneurs who are fed up with the status quo (and surface-level networking) and want to build real power, skills, and authentic connections.
Our community includes women of color, marginalized voices, and allies who understand that true elevation means everyone rises together.
As such, this is a values-driven space for women who believe equity and inclusion are non-negotiable, and who are ready to take action, supporting others while also growing their own reach and impact. If that resonates, you belong with us.
Why are you so passionate about equity?
We lead with social justice and women’s equity because we believe deep, authentic networks are the key to shifting power dynamics and redistributing opportunity.
Grounded in Equity. Powered by Action. We say this up front so you know exactly where we stand—and so the right women find their home here.
Do I need to be a big name to join Elevate?
Not at all. Elevate is for women at every stage of leadership—whether you’re running a business, leading inside an organization, or driving change in your own backyard. You don’t need a title, a huge following, or a celebrity résumé to benefit from or contribute to this network. What matters is that you care about equity, you’re ready to connect authentically, and you want to grow your impact alongside other driven women.
Do I have to attend in-person events?
Technically, no. But if you want an activated network, you need to be active. That includes showing up in person and online. And while you don’t have to attend everything, we do recommend choosing the events and activities that will best help you rebuild that face-to-face connection muscle.
What kind of events does Elevate host?
We will be hosting curated Upskilling Workshops, Real Talk Gatherings, and “Field Trip” Experiences designed to elevate your skills, deepen your connections, and create access to leaders and opportunities you might not otherwise find while also elevating the community.
Upcoming events will center on themes like LinkedIn sales and marketing, capacity building, resume refresh, perimenopause/menopause, ADHD, burnout, human design, and more.
I’m so busy. Is Elevate just going to be one more thing on my plate?
We get it. Most of the women who join us are juggling work, family, and a million other priorities. Elevate is built to give you back more than it takes—quick sign-ups, well-curated events, and facilitated introductions so you can skip the awkward small talk and get straight to what matters.
Showing up can shift your perspective, expand your support system, and spark opportunities you didn’t know were there, so it’s worth the effort to be in the room.
Is Elevate national?
Our roots are in Las Vegas, but we're already partnering with national networks like Luminary to bring high-impact events here. By joining now, you’ll get first notice as those opportunities expand.
Stop networking. Start elevating.
If you want to make more money in your business or advance your career, regardless of stage...
It ain't gonna happen by staying at home. You gotta get in the room where it happens. No excuses.
(Leaders don’t make excuses; they make exceptions for what matters.)
If you’re ready to stop standing on your own island and start building the network that changes everything—for you and for all of us—join Elevate Las Vegas now.
“If you don’t feel like you belong, you’re not the problem—the room is. Find the right room.”
