Since June 16, 2013

If you've been looking for a place where women genuinely support one another, celebrate each other's successes, and build real relationships, you might have just found it.

Polka Dot Powerhouse is a community of women from all walks of life. Our members include business owners, professionals, retirees, creatives, public servants, stay-at-home moms, women navigating life transitions, and plenty of women who simply wanted to meet good people and be part of something positive.

What brings us together isn't what we do for a living, instead it's how we show up for one another. We believe in connection over competition, collaboration over comparison, and creating a space where women can feel encouraged, supported, and valued.

What You’ll Find Here:

Genuine Relationships: The women you meet here won't just collect your business card and move on. They celebrate your wins, check in on you when life gets hard, and often become friends beyond the walls of our monthly meetings.
Encouragement and Support: Whether you're growing a business, building a career, starting over, settling into a new community, or simply looking for your people, you'll find women who are ready to cheer you on.
A Place to Belong: This isn't “traditional networking”. There are no awkward sales pitches or pressure-filled conversations. Nutshell: Real women building real relationships.
Collaboration: We believe there is room for everyone to succeed. That's why our members love sharing ideas, resources, opportunities, and connections whenever they can.
A Community That Goes Beyond Your Chapter: As a member of Polka Dot Powerhouse, you're connected to thousands of women across the globe. Whether you're traveling, relocating, looking for resources, or simply expanding your network, those connections are there for you.

UPCOMING SPEAKER

Jennifer Smith

Topic: From Classroom to Consulting: Lessons in Courage, Community & Commitment

What you will walk away with:

Why relationships are often more valuable than credentials.
How taking one small step can completely change the direction of your life.
Practical ways every woman can build a network that creates opportunities for herself and others.

Description of Talk: Many women dream about doing something different but wonder if it's too late or whether they're truly qualified. In this presentation, Jennifer will share her journey from elementary school teacher to successful grant consultant, the unexpected opportunities that changed her career, and how the encouragement, wisdom, and relationships found through Polka Dot Powerhouse helped her grow as both a business owner and a person. Whether you own a business or not, you'll leave inspired to recognize opportunities, build meaningful relationships, and have the confidence to pursue the next chapter of your own story.

SPEAKER APPLICATION PROCESS

Our speakers help educate, inspire, and encourage our members through topics that support personal and professional growth.

Rather than delivering a sales presentation, we ask speakers to focus on sharing valuable insights, experiences, and practical takeaways. When members connect with your message, relationships naturally follow.

Selected speakers receive a 20-minute presentation slot, including audience questions. Applications are reviewed carefully to ensure a variety of topics and perspectives throughout the year. Because our calendar is planned well in advance, submitting an application does not guarantee a speaking opportunity.

Speaker Application (Open to Members Only - Booking for Fall 2027 and beyond)
