  This unique progressive dinner will feature physicians and thought-leaders discussing critical topics that impact women’s physical and mental health. In this format, guests will rotate tables with each course, allowing for meaningful conversations with a diverse group of attendees. Our goal is to create a safe and brave space to openly discuss issues that are often considered taboo in a business setting. Together, we’ll explore ways to foster healthier environments that support and nurture women, both personally and professionally. This dinner is an opportunity to connect, learn, and strategize for a healthier future.

  Annual Conference for Women Entrepreneurs

  Milwaukee’s very own Women’s Entrepreneurship Week was created in 2017. In 2023, PD Members Stephanie Melnick and Sarah Haas (founders of She Stands Tall) took on Women’s Entrepreneurship Week (WEW). This year, Professional Dimensions is proud to serve as a collaborative partner and sponsor in support of this incredible work.

  What makes WEW different? We invite only women speakers, the vast majority of whom own Wisconsin-based businesses. Plus, we rely on women-owned vendors to bring our events to life by working with women caterers, photographers, printers, and marketers to make WEW feel like a place where women business owners and their allies belong.

  Mark your calendar for WEW 2025: May 5-9!
