What: Women SCORE Higher Annual Event, sponsored by SCORE Santa Barbara

When: Wednesday September 25th, 2024 – 5 PM

Where: The Cabrillo Pavilion, 1118 E Cabrillo Blvd, Santa Barbara, CA 93103

Join us for an evening of connection and growth featuring speed networking, inspiring speakers, delicious refreshments, and valuable giveaways to empower your business journey. This year features inspirational speaker Maureen Kafkis, host of The Power of Community & Collaboration in SB Podcast! It promises to be an evening full of surprises, meaningful experiences, and thought-provoking discussions.

Since the event’s inaugural launch in 2022, the Women SCORE Higher (WSH) community has continually grown with monthly mixers hosted at women-owned businesses. WHS, a SCORE Santa Barbara Chapter initiative, facilitates opportunities for Santa Barbara’s Women in Business to connect, learn, and grow through the power of leadership and networking. SCORE Santa Barbara understands the need for unifying and accessible community initiatives.

A sampling of our dynamic network of women-owned small businesses in Santa Barbara County includes:

• Legal templates and courses designed for entrepreneurs!

• Balloon garlands for any event using biodegradable balloons

• Homemade dog treats

• Equestrian gear, horse supplies, leather goods

• Personal, business, career, health and wellness coaching

• Private chef agency

• Maker lab and arts & crafts classes

• Promotional merchandise

• Bookstore & children’s books

The WHS community events provide meaningful networking opportunities for anyone along the spectrum of their career journey. Participants include established business owners, entrepreneurs in the making, and anyone interested in building and being a part of a women-in-business community! Women SCORE Higher unites participants to challenge one another to succeed physically, mentally, and in entrepreneurial strength!

The ticket price includes catered food and non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages (a local winery is offering wine for our event). Meet our vendors, all women-owned businesses based throughout the Central Coast.
