Every woman belongs.
The Circle is a volunteer-led women’s networking group rooted in community, encouragement and authentic connection.
Connect. Collaborate. Grow.
Our mission is to create a welcoming space where women share their stories, uplift and empower one another, and feel seen, heard, and valued. Together, we connect, collaborate, and grow.
Whether you own a business, are exploring a new path, or simply want to meet supportive women in your community, we would love to welcome you.


It starts with showing up.
Ilisa founded The Circle to make room for women to feel seen, supported and comfortable being themselves. Each woman has something to share, and the community grows stronger when we come together.
