IRL Happy Hour
for Women in Impact
Think speed dating, but for meaningful relationships with other amazing women changing the world. This event, hosted by founder of the Girls Club Collective Lis Best, is designed to create community and connection for women* who care about sustainability and social impact and are working to build a better future through their work. If you identify as a change agent, this is for you!
*If you consider yourself a woman changing the world, we consider you a woman changing the world. Period. That said, we also appreciate that gender is a social construct and not binary. We are borrowing the definition of women from Pooja Lakshmin, MD. In Real Self-Care, she quotes Silvia Federici, who said, "To me it has always been mostly in terms of a political category." Pooja goes on to write, "I use the word women inclusively to mean all people who suffer under the oppressive conditions that have typically been associated with the female sex, which includes queer folks, trans and nonbinary people, and intersex and agender people."
Tickets are $25.
Change Agent Connections:
The Details
We’ll mix and mingle for the first 30 minutes or so and then move into our “power hour,” where you’ll have a chance to connect more intimately with several other women 1:1.
We’ll provide the conversation prompts, drinks (think champagne and NA bubbles), and locally-sourced snacks from a woman-owned business.
All you have to do is show up and be your amazing self!

Perspectives Space in Encinitas
I helped take the sustainability initiative at a Fortune 200 company from a single paragraph copy-pasted from something that got legal approval once upon a time to a full-on program featured on conference stages and in classrooms. I’ve consulted with companies whose products you use daily, and I’ve worked behind the scenes to build an impact program at the nation's most-hated and fastest-growing company (guesses?!).
I'm a firm believer in embracing the idea that it gets to feel good while you do it. (And not just once it’s done.)
I’ve been in the roles you’re in now — tasked with creating systems, organizations, and products that help people make good choices, battling outdated ways of thinking, and desperately wishing the island you’re on came with a cute one-piece and a bottle or two of bubbly.
and I'm your secret weapon.
