HER Legacy: A Women's Leadership Luncheon | Las Vegas
HER Legacy: A Women's Leadership Luncheon: A luncheon of meaningful connections, inspiring conversations - empowering women to build businesses and legacies that endure.
Join us for an inspiring evening of networking, meaningful conversations, and community as we bring together women in business, entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders for HER Legacy, a Women's Leadership Luncheon celebrating the power of leadership and lasting impact.
Hear from an accomplished panel of Las Vegas women leaders who have built successful careers, broken barriers, and created legacies that extend far beyond their businesses. They'll share the stories behind their journeys, the lessons they've learned along the way, and how they are investing in and inspiring the next generation of leaders.
This year's venue makes the evening even more meaningful.
For the past 25 years, Ichiza Restaurant has been a beloved, women-led business that has helped shape Las Vegas' culinary community. As they celebrate this incredible milestone, the Ichiza team is embarking on an exciting new chapter by expanding their legacy into early childhood education with the launch of Tsubomi Kids House by Ichiza—a Japanese-style childcare center designed to provide a nurturing, culturally enriching environment for local families.
This visionary project is rooted in the belief that investing in children today helps build stronger communities tomorrow.
As part of the evening, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about this initiative and support its mission. If you would like to contribute, donations can be made through their GoFundMe campaign:
