Two years ago, we gathered in Calistoga for Impact Table's very first Connect & Elevate retreat.

We came looking for connection.

What we found was community.

Over three days, we reflected on our energy, dreamed about the future, shared our stories, celebrated our wins, and reminded one another that leadership doesn't have to be a solo journey.

Some of the women who attended are still cheering each other on today.

Because that's the thing about spaces like this: the conversations don't end when the retreat does.

They become friendships.
Collaborations.
Sources of courage.
Reminders that you're not carrying it all alone.

Looking back, we're filled with gratitude for every woman who helped create this special experience and for the constellation of impact leaders that continues to grow because of it. ✨

If you've ever been part of a community that changed you, we'd love to hear about it: What made it so meaningful? 💛

There’s still time to join us for what promises to be a powerful conversation with Fatima Angeles.

As Executive Director of the Levi Strauss & Co. Foundation, Fatima has spent her career advancing equity, supporting movements for justice, and investing in leaders working to create lasting change. Her leadership journey spans philanthropy, public health, youth development, and movement-building—and we know the wisdom she’s gathered along the way will resonate deeply with our community.

On June 16, Fatima joins us as our next Visionary Speaker.

At Impact Table, our Visionary Speaker Sessions are more than speaker events. They are intimate conversations that offer a rare behind-the-scenes look at the leadership journeys of respected women in impact. Speakers share the pivots, lessons, challenges, and insights that shaped them.

Because the truth is that leadership can feel isolating.

And sometimes the most valuable thing we can do is learn from women who have navigated complex decisions, built meaningful careers, and stayed grounded in their values along the way.

✨ If you've been curious about Impact Table, this is a wonderful opportunity to experience our community firsthand.

Guest passes are still available, but space is limited.

Join us for an afternoon of real talk, meaningful connection, and inspiration you can carry into your own leadership journey.

When women rise, we bring entire communities with us. We are thrilled to celebrate Impact Table member Shanette Buford-Brazzell!

With an unwavering dedication to creating lasting impact, Shanette champions the powerful intersection of philanthropy and sports within the nonprofit sector. As a philanthropic advisor at the Cleveland Foundation, she is a force for positive change, driven by core values of collaboration, authenticity, and inclusivity. Shanette firmly believes in the transformative power of strategic initiatives and partnerships, fostering outreach that enriches communities far and wide.

Her leadership journey is marked by a passion for cultivating meaningful connections and ensuring everyone can show up as their authentic self. Shanette’s extensive background in philanthropy, development, and community engagement in both collegiate athletics and nonprofit organizations has equipped her with a unique perspective and a profound understanding of how to drive significant impact. Her commitment extends beyond her professional role, as evidenced by her service on various nonprofit boards and committees.

Shanette joined The Impact Table to build and collaborate with like-minded women, forging lasting relationships and amplifying their collective influence. When she's not shaping a better future, she cherishes time with loved ones, explores the world through cruising, and enjoys the thrill of sporting events. Her inspiring approach to philanthropy is a testament to her belief in building a world where every step, every partnership, and every initiative contributes to enduring positive change.

On June 23, communities around the world will participate in , a beautiful initiative created by GivingTuesday to celebrate the power of human connection and collective action.

At Impact Table, that message resonates deeply.

We believe meaningful change happens when people choose connection over isolation, generosity over scarcity, and community over going it alone.

In a world that often asks us to move faster, do more, and carry more, TogetherTuesday offers a different invitation: pause, connect, and take one meaningful action to strengthen your community.

That action might look like:
💛 Checking in on someone who could use support
💛 Sharing a resource or opportunity
💛 Volunteering your time
💛 Supporting a local nonprofit
💛 Creating space for connection

Communities don't thrive because of a few extraordinary acts. They thrive because ordinary people show up for one another consistently.

We're grateful to the GivingTuesday team for creating this movement and inviting all of us to participate in building stronger, more connected communities.

As June 23 approaches, we'd love to hear from you: How are you planning to show up for your community this TogetherTuesday?

“A new beginning is always available to us.”

We love this reminder from Cleo Wade because it speaks to something so many women in our community are navigating right now.

A leadership transition.
A new season.
A bold idea that won’t leave you alone.
A decision that’s asking to be made.
A version of yourself that’s ready to emerge.

The women who gather at Impact Table are doing meaningful work in the world. They are leading organizations, building movements, navigating uncertainty, and creating change.

And yet, even the most accomplished leaders need spaces where they can pause, reflect, reconnect with themselves, and imagine what comes next.

That’s what we’re building at the Table.

A community where mission-driven women can be supported through moments of growth and transition. A place to leave behind what no longer serves you and step more fully into the leader you are becoming.

Because none of us are meant to navigate change alone.

If you've been looking for a community of women who understand both the responsibility and possibility of leadership, we invite you to join us for a future Open House.

Come experience what it means to take a seat at the Table.

There are leaders whose careers reflect not only professional success, but deep and sustained commitment to people, justice, and systems change.

That’s what we see in Fatima Angeles.

As Executive Director of the Levi Strauss & Co. Foundation, Fatima leads work dedicated to outfitting movements and leaders fighting for a more just and abundant world. Her career has spanned philanthropy, public health, youth development, and movement-centered leadership—always rooted in advancing equity, well-being, and community impact.

We’re honored to welcome Fatima as our next guest in the Impact Table Visionary Speaker Series on June 16.

Our Visionary Speaker Sessions are intimate, member and invite-only gatherings where respected women leaders in impact share the real story behind their leadership journey—the lessons learned, tensions navigated, pivots taken, and truths uncovered along the way.

These conversations are about more than accomplishments.
They’re about wisdom.
Honesty.
Connection.
And the kind of insight that helps all of us lead with greater intention and courage.

During this session, Fatima will offer an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at her leadership and impact journey, followed by an open Q&A and small-group conversation with members.

We know this conversation will resonate deeply with women navigating leadership in philanthropy, nonprofit, social impact, and movement spaces right now.

✨ Interested in joining us as a guest? We’d love to welcome you to the Table. Details in the comments.

There’s a reason so many women in social impact feel exhausted, isolated, or stretched beyond capacity.

Too often, leadership spaces focus only on productivity and performance—without creating room for the humanity required to sustain meaningful impact over time.

Impact Table was built differently.

We created this community to support mission-driven women leaders not just in what they do, but in who they are becoming.

Inside membership, women unlock:
✨ Leadership coaching and development
✨ Leaders Circles and peer advisory
✨ Visionary Speaker Sessions with respected women leaders in impact
✨ Thoughtful community connection across sectors and generations
✨ Retreats and gatherings designed for reflection, growth, and renewal
✨ Real conversations about leadership, ambition, wellness, and navigating change

This is a space for women building movements, leading organizations, shaping culture, and solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

A space to be supported while doing work that matters deeply.

Because when women in impact are connected, resourced, and thriving, entire communities benefit.

Wherever you are in your leadership journey, there’s a seat for you at the Table.
