Last night in Dayton, women from a range of industries filled The Dessert Room at Table 33 with conversation, laughter, and a truly impressive amount of dessert.
Some of us tried a bao bun for the first time.
Some of us learned how to use AirDrop.
Some of us were extra brave and walked in without knowing a single person.
All of us walked out with a smile.
We came to meet, left inspired, and headed home ready to bring that influence to our teams, our companies, our industries, and our families.
Thank you to every woman who joined us and to everyone who made this night so magical, especially Snowfighters Institute for welcoming us alongside their very first GROW! Snow Conference. Here’s to conversations that carry far beyond this week.

We have just two seats left in our upcoming Ambassador Program cohort. The program is a one-year circle for women who work in male-majority industries, filled with women who want to grow and want to see other women succeed. Over the year we cover six topics with six guest speakers, and between sessions you have a private community chat, worksheets, and resources that keep the conversation going after the call ends.
If cost is your only obstacle keeping you from joining us, we have scholarship funding available for women who cannot cover the full amount. Just ask us in a private message! It stays between us, and it changes nothing about how you are welcomed into this cohort.
Registration closes September 4 so your welcome box reaches you in time, and we gather in person on September 18 for our mocktail meet and greet, where you meet the women you will grow alongside all year as well as all other ambassadors current and past.

The Snow & Ice Management Assoc. Leadership Forum holds a special place in the story of I.E.
It’s where some of our founder’s friendship took root over shared meals, long walks, keynotes that turned into late conversations, and even a bit of fly-fishing. Those moments impacted what we’ve become in a way we will always be grateful for.
This year, we are thrilled to represent I.E. as we learn and grow with some of the best in the Snow Industry.
If this sounds like this event would inspire you, it’s not too late & we have a special offer running in partnership with SIMA so DM us today!
Emily grew up in the landscaping industry, watching her dad build the family business from the ground up. Today she’s often the only woman in the room, and she has a message for women in the green industry: you belong here, and you bring value to the table. 🌱
Meet Emily Lindley of Landscaping: Dayton and Cincinnati Ohio & Marty Grunder: Landscaping , our latest Emerging Leader honoree. Spotlighting those coming up as leaders in our industry is what this series is all about.

Last week, we had the honor of hosting Kayla Lujan for our Ambassador Session, and her impact was instant.
She challenged us to rethink how we use our time, reminding us that boundaries, bold asks, and protecting what matters most are how we lead ourselves first, so we can lift others. Influence rooted in character starts there.
That’s the heart of our Ambassador Program: intentional meetings, real growth, and women learning to lead with confidence.
Our next cohort starts early September 🎉
Fill out the interest form in our bio to secure your seat!
One week ago, 55 women filled Alcove by MadTree in Cincinnati.
Two panels left us inspired, with the next generation sharing what they see coming and women with twenty-plus years in male-majority industries sharing what they wish they knew early in their career.
Our attendees left after reconnecting with friends, reconnecting with new supporters in their corner and a community that will carry them through every season.
Meet. Inspire. Influence. ✨
