Evolve Elite: Lewis Center

Evolve isn’t about collecting business cards, perfecting your elevator pitch, or walking into a room feeling like you have to impress everyone. It’s about **community, connection, and growth—together.** Evolve Elite brings women entrepreneurs together for meaningful conversations, authentic relationships, collaborative problem-solving, and the kind of support that helps you move forward in both business and life. ### What to Expect **A Warm Welcome** You won’t be left standing alone wondering who to talk to. Our Welcome Team will help you get connected and feel part of the community from the moment you arrive. **Real Introductions** Tell us who you are, what you do, and what you're working toward. You don’t need the perfect pitch—just be you. **A Member Spotlight** Get to know one of the women in our community beyond what she does for a living. You’ll hear a little of her journey, what she’s learned along the way, and something practical that may help you on yours. **Meaningful Small-Group Conversations** This is where Evolve comes alive. Through guided breakout conversations, we’ll explore topics around business growth, leadership, confidence, connection, and personal development. You’ll have an opportunity to share your experiences, learn from other women, and work through real challenges together. **Women Helping Women** Every meeting includes an opportunity to ask: **“How can we help?”** Need an introduction? A resource? Feedback on an idea? A referral? An accountability partner? Share what would help you move forward and give others the opportunity to support you. **A Next Step** We don't want you to leave with pages of notes you'll never look at again. Our goal is for you to leave with a meaningful connection, a new perspective, a helpful resource, or a tangible next step you can actually use. ### You Belong in the Conversation You don’t have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. Bring your questions. Bring your ideas. Bring your challenges. Bring your experience. **Come as you are—and be part of a community of women who confidently lead, courageously grow, and build thriving businesses and meaningful lives together.** Guests are always welcome. We’d love to meet you! For more information, contact Mentor Director Anne-Claire Van Aken at anneclaire.evolve@gmail.com.

Hike Highbanks

**Let’s meet at the Nature Center and do approximately 4 miles at a 17-18 min/mile pace. There are hills.**

Change of Plans - Let's Just Hike and Dine if you wish (no photo shoot)!

Okay, I didn't communicate the Photo Shoot very clearly . . . we're going to shift gears and just use an AI creation for the banner on our Meetup page. I apologize for any confusion (the shoot was only going to be 20 minutes, not 3 hours, but I failed to communicate that!). So this event is a hike through Highbanks. Assume 3 miles at an 18-20 minute pace (slightly slower in leaf covered areas). Suggest bringing poles due to roots that are sneakily hiding beneath fallen leaves just waiting to trip you. Again my apologies for not communicating clearly . . .

Hike High Banks Metro Park

Let's hike approximately 4 miles at an 18 min/mile.

Meet & Greet | Happy Hour & Dancing 🍷💃🏾

Time To Get a Little Mojo Goin'

This is a fun, low-key, rock painting activity. I will supply rocks and paints and some ideas. No pressure. Just your chance to create little pieces of joy that you can leave behind wherever you go. You are welcome to bring other mediums like paper or watercolor paints, etc. if you want to create on/with something else.

Dog Walk at Franklin Park Conservatory

Dog Walk - come enjoy the beautiful grounds at Franklin Park Conservatory with or without your dog! We’ll meet on the path near the entrance. Paths are paved and nicely maintained but sunny! The loop I take is approx. 2mi around. There are plenty of shortcuts back if that’s too far or we can take it twice if the dogs are up to it. Please keep all dogs leashed as per park rules, thanks!
