🍎 New season, fresh connections, and a whole lot of exciting things ahead!

We kicked off our 2026–27 Ladies Who Lead season at Brantwood Farms with an evening of familiar faces, new connections, and a little fall fun! From apple and flower picking to pumpkin patches and wagon rides, Harvesting Connections was the perfect reminder that some of the best conversations happen outside the workplace. 🌻

And we had plenty of exciting news to share! New partnerships, new faces on the LWL team, expanded leadership opportunities, and some big plans for the season ahead. Swipe through for a peek at what we chatted about! 👀

A HUGE thank you to Dawn Pate and the entire Brantwood Farms family for welcoming us, sharing your story, and providing such a beautiful space to kick off our season.

And, of course, an evening of networking is even better with great food! Thank you to Strodes BBQ & Deli for our delicious dinner and Pür&Simple for providing dietary and allergen-friendly meals so everyone could enjoy the evening.

To our sponsors, partners, and every woman who joined us, thank you for making our first event of the season one to remember. 💗

This is just the beginning! We're building something exciting this season, and there's always room for another woman at the table.
