🎉 Calling All Inspiring Women in Washington, DC! 🎉

Posted in:Events Family & Relationships Lifestyle Tech Career Growth Parenting Elpha Hangs

Hey Elpha community!

I’ll be in DC this December and would love to connect with fellow trailblazing women in the area. Whether you’re into tech, startups, social impact or just have an inspiring story to share, let’s grab coffee, chat and spark some ideas! ☕️✨

Who’s up for some empowering conversations and maybe even a bit of holiday cheer?

Drop a comment or DM me if you’re in! 💬

Iynna·Sep 03

Absolutely! for inspo on how others have done this in other cities (in terms of organisation / planning - though that should be a super lowlift), check this- https://elpha.com/posts/jrnz4wns/august-boulder-ish-hang - the boulder-ish community has been one of the most consistent tight knit group as they've been hosting meetups pretty much every month- Paris also had a great cadence going on https://elpha.com/posts/71tvmalo/paris-elphas-february-21-meet-up- New York and SF/Bay area too! (eg https://elpha.com/posts/t6iabjs6/nyc-meetup-in-march) https://elpha.com/posts/npy39sma/tokyo-meet-up

SharonChanXE·Sep 16

cool :)

brittneylee23·Sep 13

Maybe we should make a GroupMe with everyone closer to that time

Tressie202·Sep 13

I agree with this. I tried to get one going last year but with people’s schedules, location and such. It’s hard to meet up unless there is an official time, place, etc. and having one around the holidays, people will forget unless you are following up and planning thing properly.

SharonChanXE·Sep 16

yea i hear you tressie :)

SharonChanXE·Sep 16

groupme .. hmm let me try to figure this out.

brittneylee23·Sep 16

Let me know I can help start a GroupMe for us

Hi Elpha Community,I've got some great news to share and I hope it encourages those of you who are seeking for career change.So I was laid off in Dec 2023, took a couple months of saabathical and am currently doing some p/time work + pet boarding and I just landed a new job, a pretty new space for me but I am excited because I've been wanting to try my hand at learning something else besides pure tech sales. Best thing is they given me the green light to work remotely for a few months which allows me to be in the US for the holiday season. Please let me know if you gals are able to meet between 11-13 Dec.I will be in Arlington area -- I would love to connect in person.

nuadoe·Nov 04
