4th Annual Golf Outing Recap

May 22, 2025

Highlights from the 4th Annual Female Strong Golf Outing

On Monday, May 19 we hosted our 4th Annual Female Strong Golf Outing, and despite the unseasonably cold weather, the day was filled with energy, generosity, and community spirit. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who participated—whether you played, volunteered, sponsored, or simply showed up to support the mission.


The outing brought together over 150 golfers and supporters to raise critical funds that help Female Strong deliver confidence-building programming to over 400 girls each year. From our entrepreneurship academy for middle and high school students to our camps for girls as young as eight years old, the impact of this day will ripple far beyond the fairways.

2026 CEO Roundtable Highlights

February 5, 2026
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s CEO Roundtable, a signature YEA! Chicago event centered on leadership, confidence, and career growth. We are grateful to the incredible leaders who made the evening so impactful, including moderator Anne Rockey and panelists Mary Lee Schneider , Kari McGlinnen , and Beka Kohmescher . Powerful takeaways from the conversation included the importance of setting high expectations while continuing to advocate for yourself early and often. The panelists spoke to the value of building strong teams by surrounding yourself with people who challenge and inspire you, and choosing work that feels aligned with your passions and natural strengths. Creativity was also highlighted as an essential leadership skill, showing up through problem solving, innovation, and forward-thinking decision making. Attendees were encouraged to approach balance as a long game, to say yes to their highest priorities, embrace that no is a complete sentence, and stay curious by connecting with others on a human level. Above all, the conversation reinforced that failure is part of success, and that grit, perseverance, and the ability to pivot are essential qualities of great leaders. Thank you again to our generous sponsors, Heidrick & Struggles and Continua Interiors , for making this signature event possible.
