LEGACY STRONGHOLD
The same women getleft out every year.
It is not because they do not want to be in the room. It is because the room is not built for them, or the ticket costs more than they can justify, or she is not sure she is ready for a room like this yet.
Three things keep her out of the room.
Ask any woman in Laredo who has skipped an event she wanted to go to. She can tell you exactly which one stopped her.
The events that did exist were not built for her. Wrong industry, wrong room, or a table she had never been invited to. Not built for her, and not built here.
Between the ticket, the time off, and the childcare, she is doing math. And the math has said no, more than once.
Even when the room was close and the cost was not the issue, she still hesitated. She did not feel ready, qualified, or like she belonged in a room like that yet.
There's a loneliness epidemic happening.
The U.S. Surgeon General says about half of American adults feel it. Gift Her Growth™ puts women in business in one room, in their own city, so she walks in alone and leaves with her people.

When a company shows up for her city, she notices. She's not just a woman in a room, she's a customer, a client, a referral, a hire. She remembers who made her seat possible, and she remembers it when she's choosing who to buy from, who to work with, and who to recommend.
That kind of trust doesn't come from another ad in her feed. It comes from a name she saw in the room.
Laredo sponsors aren't just a logo. You're the name your community says thank you to.
This isn't a one-city bet. It's a national movement, and Laredo is part of it.
The Gift Her Growth™ Summit is a sponsor funded national tour, built on the concept that through community, we will Gift Her Growth™.
A July launch led to 12 cities in under a month. Now we're up to 18 for 2027. That's not a launch plan. That's a market telling us how badly this was needed.
Women actively investing in their personal and professional growth.
Gift Her Growth™ attracts women actively investing in their personal and professional growth in Laredo, including:
These aren't passive attendees. They're women making purchasing decisions, building businesses, hiring teams, and leading within the Laredo community.
This is a movement.
Space for ambitious women to:
Connect to their community
Connect to our community of Unapologetic Women
Leave with the tools to Master Momentum
Leave with the community, belief, and one move to change your life.
"The fire she stoked? It's still burning. Women left feeling seen, stirred, and ready to move."
This isn't an ask. It's an invitation.
We didn't reach out to a list. We reached out to the founders, leaders, and organizations we trust most in this space. The ones who show up. The ones who invest in this community because they believe in it — not because it's in a budget line.
This is the first year — and that's the opportunity. Founding and Presenting partners help set the tone, but the room is being built by many hands. Whether you anchor the stage or join as a community name, you're part of the story that starts here.
Your product or materials in every gift bag, in this room.
Seats to bring your team, your clients, or someone in Laredo you've been meaning to invest in.
Recognition from the stage and across local marketing, tied to the Gift Her Growth™ Scholarship Program.
Here's what the day looks like.
- 01Breakfast & Check-In
- 02Panel
- 03Keynote
- 04Networking & Giveaways
This event exists because businesses believe your community deserves a seat at the table. Tickets will be accessible, so no woman has to think twice about being in that room.
Why Laredo. Why now.
For years, the women of Laredo have driven to San Antonio, Austin or Houston for a room like this. On February 11, the room comes to them, for the very first time.
Laredo has never had this
No summit like this has ever been built here. Every woman who walks in is part of the first one, and every partner who says yes is the name Laredo remembers for making it happen.
Laredo told us it was ready
We talked with women who own businesses, women who work for businesses, and women building their own. Over and over, we heard the same thing: they are craving a room like this, close to home.
Laredo is part of something bigger
Gift Her Growth™ is a sponsor-funded summit tour in 18 cities in 2027, backed by national partners. Your name stands in Laredo's room with the same movement showing up in cities across the country.
100 women. One morning. Her city.
Entrepreneurs, small business owners, leaders, sales professionals and future founders. These are the women choosing who to buy from, work with, hire and recommend in Laredo.
Bring her with you.
Get your ticket, then think about the friend, coworker or sister who has been waiting for a room like this. Who can you gift a ticket to that you know should come with you?
Only 100 seats. Laredo will sell out.

Someone finally built it.
The first summit for women in business across Laredo. One room. Every woman ready to master her momentum — together, for the first time.
This has never been done here before. Your name is on the first one — forever. That's not a sponsorship. That's a legacy.
100 ambitious women in one room — on purpose, for the first time. Intimate, tight-knit, and all there for each other.
Five years from now, people will ask, 'Are you going to the Gift Her Growth™ Summit this year?' You were the reason it started.
Gift Her Growth™
This is bigger than a logo. Every Presenting and Founding Sponsor becomes part of a movement built to gift women transformational access they might not have said yes to for themselves.
You're featured on the Gift Her Growth™ partner page and inside the Unapologetic Women community. Cassy calls you out from the stage — thanking you for gifting a woman in the Laredo community a paid year of professional development inside the Unapologetic Women Tribe.
One woman. One full year inside The Tribe — community, connection, and growth for a woman in the local community who is ready for her next chapter. She wasn't chosen by her budget. She was chosen by your generosity.
When one woman steps into the right room — everything changes. Not just for her, but for her family, her work, her future, and every life she touches after that. That ripple starts with you.
The women behind every room.

And she says it out loud, in rooms full of high-performing women who look successful on the outside and are privately battling momentum on the inside. Through her One Move Mindset, she shows you how one move made before you feel ready breaks the self-doubt loop & rebuilds momentum.

The only question is which seat do you want.
