Connect. Inspire. Inform.
2022 will be Gather’s fifth year as a women’s leadership community that helps strengthen the overall business and non-profit community in the DeKalb area. The 2022 calendar includes events focused on connecting, inspiring, and informing women through educational presentations and fun experiences. Gather also offers the opportunity to give back and help mentor high school and college aged women in the community. All women are invited to consider becoming a member.
The 2022 calendar includes events to access a dynamic network of women from the community. Your 2022 membership includes all costs associated with main events. Meet-up events are free to attend, but food or refreshments are at your own expense. All events require registration. This is a great value and currently made possible by the DeKalb Chamber of Commerce and our generous sponsors. Scholarships are available to individuals from current DeKalb Chamber Members.
