A Unique Collaboration

The shape of our group reflects the heart of our mission. From the beginning, we have been committed to welcoming a broad and diverse community of mothers into our programs, our conversations, and our leadership. What started as a shared effort among dedicated volunteers has grown into a collaborative board where passionate community members and experienced professional leaders work side by side, united by a common goal: supporting and uplifting local moms.
If you’ve been part of our journey for a while, you may notice that our circle continues to evolve. We have recently invited new mothers to join our board, bringing fresh perspectives and energy, while our longtime board members now serve on an Advisory Board, remaining deeply engaged in shaping our vision and guiding our work. Together, this growing community of committed, thoughtful moms is what makes the Mothers Symposium possible, and we are honored to continue building this work—collectively, intentionally, and with care.
