New York City | How Women Lead | Private Cocktail Gathering

An evening for the women shaping what comes next. 

Alissa Livingston and Coco Sellman, Co-Chairs of the New York Executive Board, invite a small circle of leaders we already know and deeply value to gather in New York City for an intimate cocktail evening.

• • April 15, 2026

  • 5:30–7:00 PM

  • Chief NYC – 13 E. 19th Street

This is not a networking event.

It is a conversation among women who have already invested their time, wisdom, and leadership into the How Women Lead community — as Limited Partners of How Women Invest, and as participants in Board Readiness, Leadership Committee, Visible Impact, Pivot, Women Leaders of the World Advisors, and the Investing in Women’s Sports Symposium.

You are part of the foundation. 🤝

Now we ask:

1. 1. What do you want to see built here in New York?
   2. What would make this community even more powerful, visible, and catalytic?
   3. What do you personally wish was available?
   4. Where is the greatest opportunity for impact — and for each of us — in this next chapter?
   5. How would you like to participate?

Over cocktails and thoughtful conversation, we will:

• Share ideas and inspiration for the future of How Women Lead in NYC and beyond.
• Explore how to deepen connection and collective influence.
• Offer clear pathways for becoming more involved, more visible, and more active.
• Shape the next phase of leadership in the New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut areas.

This is about intentional beginnings and sustainable growth — together.

We are gathering women we admire, trust, and cherish to help define what comes next.

If you feel called to help architect the future of How Women Lead in the New York Area, we would be honored to have you in the room.

Join us.
Let’s build the next chapter — thoughtfully, strategically, and with purpose. 

In Your Service,

Alissa & Coco
