    PWOCN September

    Networking Mixer

    ASK BIGGER!
    What are you ready to claim?

    A promotion. A new opportunity. The introduction. The contract. More support. Greater visibility. A seat at the table.

    We often know what we want. The harder part can be saying it out loud, asking for it, and taking the steps that move us closer.

    Join Professional Women of Color Network on Wednesday, September 23rd, at Pasifika NW Grill & Bar at Foster Golf Links in Tukwila for an evening of networking and a candid conversation about getting clear on what you want and becoming more willing to pursue it.

    Meet women from across industries, share what you’re working toward, and build relationships that can open doors to new possibilities.

    What Are You Ready to Claim?

    Think about something you want right now.

    Have you said it out loud? Have you asked for it?

    Or are you waiting for someone to notice your work, recognize your potential, make the introduction, or offer you the opportunity?

    Sometimes we hesitate because we don’t want to ask for too much. We wait for the timing to feel right. We convince ourselves we need another credential, another win, or a little more experience. And sometimes, we simply don’t want to hear no.

    ASK BIGGER invites us to examine those hesitations and consider what we could do next.

    Together, we’ll explore how to communicate what we want, make a clear request, and pursue opportunities in our careers, businesses, and lives. We’ll also consider how our relationships can help us exchange ideas, find support, and connect with people who can help us move forward.

    Your next opportunity may begin with a conversation. Come prepared to share what you’re ready to pursue.

    What to Expect

    • Conversations with career professionals and business owners across industries

    • A candid discussion about making the bigger ask

    • Practical ideas for communicating what you want and taking your next step

    • Opportunities to ask questions and share your perspective

    • New introductions and time to build your professional relationships

    • Light appetizers provided by our host, Pasifika NW Grill & Bar

    • Plenty of time to mix, mingle, and get to know the women in the room

    Bring Your Bigger Ask

    Before September 23rd, think about this:

    What do you want that you haven’t asked for yet?

    An introduction? A new client? A promotion? A collaboration? More support for an idea you’re ready to pursue?

    Come with one thing you want to move forward and a willingness to talk about it. You may meet someone who offers a useful perspective, a connection, or encouragement to take that next step.

    Join us at Pasifika and come ready to ASK BIGGER.

    Work. Connect. Build.

    Your next client, collaboration, referral, or career opportunity could start with the woman sitting next to you.

    Give your usual workday a change of scenery, some fresh perspective, and connections worth following up on.

    Join PWOCN and Tabor100 for a day where getting things done and getting to know other professional women of color go hand in hand. Work on your next big idea, move a project forward, and meet women building businesses, advancing careers, and opening doors for one another.

    Bring your laptop. Handle business. Make connections.

    Come for a few hours or make a day of it. There’s room for your work, your ambition, and the conversations that could lead to what’s next.

    Your October Lunch and Learn

    Nobody Told Me This Part
    Taking Care of Yourself While Taking Care of Business

    Featuring Dr. Margaret Towolawi at Noon

    You know how to manage deadlines, make decisions, and keep things moving. But where does taking care of yourself land on your list?

    This October, we’re putting a rarely discussed part of work and life on the agenda: perimenopause and menopause.

    What should you know before changes begin? What might you be overlooking when life gets busy? And how can you better support yourself while pursuing the career, business, and life you want?

    Join Dr. Margaret Towolawi for a candid Lunch and Learn that connects the dots between hormonal changes and the demands of a full life. Expect practical insights, useful resources, and an opportunity to ask the questions you may not have had a chance to ask.

    Whether you’re looking ahead, noticing something different, or already navigating this stage, come curious. Knowing more about yourself is valuable at every age.

    Your goals matter. So does the woman pursuing them.

    Make Your Workday Work for You

    • Move your priorities forward. Give that proposal, project, or business idea time on your calendar.

    • Get beyond the introduction. Have time to learn what other women do, share what you’re building, and discover common interests.

    • Make your work more visible. Let people get to know your expertise, your goals, and the opportunities you’re seeking.

    • Find possibilities for collaboration. Exchange ideas and resources with women across industries.

    • Invest in yourself. Gain practical knowledge from Dr. Towolawi while connecting with women balancing ambitions and responsibilities of their own.

    Who Will You Meet?

    Entrepreneurs. Career professionals. Founders. Executives. Consultants. Creatives. Nonprofit and civic leaders.

    Women with different experiences, fresh perspectives, and a shared interest in building relationships while moving their work forward.

    Come on your own or invite a colleague. You don’t need a perfect pitch or a finished plan. Start with a conversation.

    Plan Your Day

    Wednesday, October 14, 2026
    9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific
    Drop in as your schedule allows. Join us at noon for the featured Lunch and Learn.

    Tabor100 Business Development Center
    7100 Fort Dent Way, Suite 100
    Tukwila, WA 98188

    Your free registration includes Co-Working access, networking throughout the day, and the Lunch and Learn with Dr. Margaret Towolawi.

    Put Yourself on the Calendar

    A project moved forward. A new professional connection. An idea you hadn’t considered. Information you can use.

    Give yourself a workday with room for all of it!
