Welcome to Women Breaking Ground

Our Story

We started Women Breaking Ground  with a simple goal in mind: to create a coalition that makes it easy for women to connect with experienced and emerging developers who share their interests and passions. Our journey has just begun, but we're proud of what we've accomplished so far. 

Our Community

At Women Breaking Ground, we believe that building a strong, supportive and like-minded coalition is key to our success. That's why we've created an organization that put women first, and fosters a sense of belonging and connection among our emerging developers.

Our Goals

 We’re uniting realtors, brokers, investors, architects, engineers, developers, and community leaders—women of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences—who are ready to step into history and transform their communities through real estate development. This isn’t just an event; it’s a national movement to inspire, educate, and equip women to become developers, investors, and change-makers.

Meet & Greet The Development Team In Person

Women Breaking Ground, Developers Unplugged

 Women Breaking Ground presents the first of a four part series "Developers Unplugged". Three events are free leading up to our Women Breaking Ground National Arbor Day Events.  Open to  all women in real estate, construction, and development—whether you are an experienced professional, an emerging leader, or just beginning to explore opportunities in the industry. if you are interested in building wealth through real estate, or scaling from investment to development, and forging connections with peers, mentors, and innovators we encourage you to join us for the Developers Unplugged series.
