In 2018, I formed and led a women’s Book Club in Boerne, TX. We read and discussed many different types of books which always led to amazing discussions among the women.  The bond we created was unmatchable and we learned so much about one another! This planted a seed for me. A seed that I wanted to grow and nourish. You see, I desired to have a greater impact on women in the community, but unfortunately, Covid hit. So, while this group dissolved, the seed I had planted was only beginning to take root. 

I spent a lot of time researching and visiting MANY networking groups over the years.  I became a very active participant in several and I even served on boards and committees.  But again, I felt that little seedling of mine needing more. I wanted a group with substance…not only a place to socialize and pass out business cards, but one to give back and deepen relationships.

Then it hit me! I could merge the two. Bringing together the parts of my previous book club I enjoyed so much with what I felt a networking and leadership group should be.  So, in late 2020 after lots of discussions with other female entrepreneurs, I founded the group, L.E.A.D. 830 and hand-picked the first few members. Together we crafted our mission statement, vision and expectations. 

We are a collective of women business owners. Some have network marketing businesses, like myself, and others own brick-and-mortar or online businesses. It’s an honor to reap the fruits of that little seed that was planted a few years ago and give back to the community that continues to support us, while mentoring and training female business owners.
