Our Story
We are a group of women from all walks of life that have joined forces and embraced our responsibility to make the world a better place by inspiring and uplifting a new generation of women community leaders.
We are able to make our vision a reality due to the support and collaboration of The Hispanic American Doctors' Association of Southwest Florida, The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools, and The School District of Lee County.
