About
We are on a mission to equip women leaders in Snoqualmie Valley with the resources, connections, and skills to thrive and build better workplaces and communities.
We facilitate connection through meet-ups and events, empower one another through teaching and storytelling, and provide support for women who have a passion for learning, growing, and relating with others who share the same vision.
We serve women in the Snoqualmie Valley who are in (or aspire to be in) positions of influence and leadership.
Ways to Get Involved
-
Connection Gatherings
This is our signature event and a great place to start. Join us 3-4 times a year to making meaningful connections with other women leaders in Snoqualmie Valley. We design the events thoughtfully so you won’t have to navigate a room full of strangers on your own.
-
Meet Ups & Workshops
Throughout the year, we offer smaller groups built around more specific ways to relate to women leaders in Snoqualmie Valley. These include groups such as book clubs, new moms meet-ups, virtual coffee chats, and topic-specific workshops.
-
One Day Retreat
Sometimes you just need to dive in and spend a whole day connecting with and getting inspired by fellow women leaders! Expect an opportunity to learn from experts, discuss relevant topics in the life of a leader and leave uplifted and fulfilled.
-
Volunteer
Sometimes the best way to get connected or grow is to offer up your talents, skills, passion, time and energy to support others and your community. Whether you’re interested in helping behind the scenes or leading an event, there’s plenty of ways to get involved.
Origins
It started with a social media post …
In January 2023, North Bend resident Wendy Parslow, posted on a local facebook group inquiring if there were any women leaders interested in networking. Fifty women eagerly responded within 24 hrs. Within 3 weeks, Snoqualmie Valley Women in Leadership launched with an email list of more than 100 and an inaugural networking event that connected more than fifty women leaders who live in the Snoqualmie Valley.
About Wendy
In 2022, I did a lot of reflecting on the legacy I want to leave in this world. The concept of leadership – in all its forms – quickly rose to the top of those reflections. I decided to set a bold goal for myself - in the next 15 years, I will help one million people become better leaders. Snoqualmie Valley Women in Leadership is an important step in helping to accomplish that goal!
