Annual Events

New Member Programs
Throughout the year we host member orientations to bring new members up to speed on everything we have to offer. Additionally, every summer we host a Summer Soiree for all new members from the previous membership year. 

Networking Events
Prospective members and members interested in getting more involved are encouraged to attend our Social Pop-Ins to learn more about Impact 100 Richmond and the membership experience. These casual gatherings and information sessions are hosted on the second Wednesday of the month during our giving season and last approximately two hours. Feel free to pop in and out as your schedule permits.

Upcoming Social Pop-Ins
Oct. 9 | Noon Brown Bag Lunch at Art 180
Nov 13 | 6:30 PM at Pupatella (W. Broad St location)

We need hosts for our social pop-ins!  Do you or someone you know have a location that would be ideal for one of our members socials? It could be a restaurant, bar, retail space—any spot conducive to a social gathering for up to 20 women. Benefits of hosting one of our social pop-ins:

• create brand awareness for your business
• connect with 1,200+ women through social media, email, our website and onsite recognition. We will promote your business online for the month leading up to the event, including links to your social media pages and website.
• win over new customers through special offers/discounts
• support and help us engage with current and prospective members so we can continue creating positive change in our amazing city through high-impact, transformational grants.

Contact Kemper Thornton if you have an idea or location.
