AN EVENING OF
ELEGANCE, EMPOWERMENT & IMPACT
The Lady Boss Legacy Ball is an elevated evening experience created to celebrate women who are living, leading, building, and becoming with intention.
Presented by Poised Media & Events and benefiting Purpose to Legacy Foundation, this inaugural signature event will bring together an extraordinary community of women from across business, entrepreneurship, education, nonprofit, community, civic, corporate, and faith-based leadership.
More than a beautiful evening, the Lady Boss Legacy Ball is an invitation to reflect on the lives we are building, the women we are becoming, and the impact we will leave behind.
Guests will gather for an elegant reception and dinner, inspiring conversation, meaningful recognition, connection, celebration, and a signature empowerment experience designed to challenge each of us to consider one powerful question:
WHAT WILL EXIST BECAUSE YOU WERE HERE?
THE EXPERIENCE
This is more than a beautiful evening. It's an opportunity to pause, celebrate the journey, connect with extraordinary women, and look intentionally toward what comes next.
Elegant Reception & Dinner • Featured Keynote • The Legacy Conversation • Inspiring Recognition • Meaningful Connection • Music & Celebration
BUILDING. BECOMING. IMPACT.
Throughout the evening, we'll explore the lives we are building, the women we are becoming, and the impact we have the opportunity to leave behind.
THE LEGACY CONVERSATION
BUILDING. BECOMING. IMPACT.
At the heart of the evening is The Legacy Conversation — a candid and inspiring conversation exploring the different seasons of a woman's journey.
Through the lenses of Building, Becoming, and Impact, three dynamic women will share perspective from their own journeys — what it takes to build with purpose, who we become along the way, and what it means to create impact that extends beyond ourselves.
Three women. Three perspectives. One conversation about legacy.
Legacy Conversation participants will be announced soon.
AN EVENING WITH PURPOSE.
The Lady Boss Legacy Ball benefits Purpose to Legacy Foundation, whose mission is helping individuals discover purpose and build lasting legacies, with a focus on empowering women, developing leaders, and transforming communities.
Proceeds will support the Foundation's charitable and educational work, including leadership development, mentorship, education, community engagement, empowerment initiatives, and future scholarship opportunities.
