Welcome!

Where Southern Charm Meets Modern Luxury

From the sun-drenched shores of Naples in 2023 to the breathtaking peaks of Deer Valley in 2024, our Leadership Retreats have been incredible journeys of connection, growth, and shared insights. We're so grateful to all of you who have made these past events such resounding successes, and we're thrilled to build on that momentum.

This year, we're taking our third annual Leadership Retreat to the historic charm of Savannah, Georgia! We've chosen The Thompson Savannah, a stunning waterfront hotel that perfectly blends modern luxury with the city's rich heritage. Prepare for curated sessions with Brian Parsley, immersive conversations, and plenty of time to soak in the riverfront energy.

Read on for all the details on our exciting agenda, inspiring speakers, and unique Savannah experiences. We can’t wait to welcome back returning attendees and new participants! So don't delay, register today!

Best,

ML and Liz
