What
The Woman Panel supports women who believe in the power of free-market principles and solutions in every sector. The Woman Panel exists to give women, individually and collectively, a voice that’s currently unrepresented.
Our objectives are simple:
- Giving voice to today’s female experts in a safe, non-threatening environment.
- Uniting women by sharing thoughts, ideas, and concerns.
- Raising up the next generation of female leaders.
Where
Since we believe in the Free Market, we have chosen to use the Gathering House as the best place to host these fantastic events.
The Gathering House is a church, a coffee shop, and an event center. It is the perfect place to have an intimate yet lively discussion giving women and opportunity to have a platform and discuss concerns and ideas that must be brought to surface. However, as other organizations want to support the Free Market discussion, we are able to rotate to other facilities around the region.
