The ConnectHER Weekend Retreat will return in 2025, offering a transformative three-day experience designed to empower women through connection and personal development. Scheduled for April 25-27 at the Royal Sonesta Chicago River North, the retreat will focus on the theme 'Connection Is Currency: What's Your Net Worth?'
Led by founder Dr. Tammy C. Barnett, the retreat aims to provide high-achieving women with tools for networking, mindset elevation, and purposeful pivoting. This year's event will feature a diverse lineup of speakers from various industries, including entrepreneurs, psychologists, and business leaders who will share personal insights and professional strategies.
A key highlight of the retreat will be a Financial Literacy Month workshop sponsored by Michigan State University Federal Credit Union. Attendees can expect sessions covering emotional well-being, entrepreneurship, career guidance, and relationship building, along with unique experiences like a VIP Welcome Cruise and a Sneaker Ball.
The retreat represents more than just an event; it is a movement dedicated to creating a supportive community where women can share experiences, develop connections, and gain professional and personal growth opportunities. By emphasizing the importance of relationships and collective support, ConnectHER demonstrates the transformative power of intentional networking and community building.
