What a wonderful way to kick off the **2026–2027 Women Leaders Forum of the Coachella Valley season!**
I’m grateful to be part of a community of women who believe in the power of connection, leadership, and mentorship.
When women leaders take the time to mentor and encourage younger women, we share so much more than wisdom. We help build confidence, open doors, create opportunities, and inspire the next generation to recognize what is possible for their own lives.
That is how leadership continues to grow. One woman encourages another, who then reaches back and lifts someone else.
**Together, we rise.**
I’m looking forward to another meaningful season with WLF and all that lies ahead.
