Welcome to the Lancaster Chapter of Polka Dot Powerhouse! 

At the Lancaster Chapter of Polka Dot Powerhouse, connection isn't just a word - - it's a way of life! We are more than a networking group; we are a sisterhood of women who believe in lifting each other higher, celebrating one another's successes, and standing strong together through life's challenges. 

When you walk into a Lancaster Dot meeting, you will feel the energy. Warm smiles, open hearts, and women eager to connect in meaningful ways. It's a place where business growth meets personal growth, where friendships are forged that extend far beyond the meeting room, and where support flows without expectation.

Here, you'll find women who:

  •         Cheer for your wins and remind you  of your worth
  • Inspire you with their courage, creativity, and leadership
  • Open doors to opportunities, collaborations, and lifelong friendships.
  • Believe in abundance, authenticity, and a "no drama" atmosphere

The Lancaster Chapter is growing with exciting new events, fresh opportunities to connect, and the momentum of women who want to make an impact. Whether you are an entrepreneur, working for another business, working from home, or simply seeking connections, you will find your place within this community of uplifting women, because when you are a Dot, you are NEVER alone. You are a part of a forever sisterhood that shines brighter together.

What can you expect at our Monthly Connection Meetings?

Our connection meetings are all about connection and sharing of celebrations, collaborations, and upcoming events. We leave the drama at the door and invite you to a room full of positive energy when we meet on the 2nd Thursday for lunch, or the 4th Wednesday for lunch and dinner at Bent Creek Country Club.  Starting in November 2025, we will start our Topic Tuesday morning coffee events at Rise Bake Shoppe in Mt. Joy.  There are no industry restrictions (abundance mindset!), and no attendance or referral requirements.  

The agenda for our regular meetings includes:

 Introduction – 30 sec for you to introduce yourself 

  • Celebrations – personal or professional
  • Collaborations – who collaborated/did business together
  • New Products, Services and Events
  • Referral Needs/The Ask
  • SPEAKER or Connection Activity
  • Chapter/Company News
  • The Butterfly Award – you’ll just have to come and see what this is all about!
  • Connect Drawing
  • Close

You are invited to attend once without being a member!  After that, we are pretty sure you will know that you’ve found the sisterhood you’ve always wanted!  "Like" our FB Page to stay on top of all the fun things we are doing.  Here's the link:  Lancaster Chapter Facebook Page

Some of those events include: Mixer Monday, Dot Masters, DOT Pool Party, Reignite & Renew, Topic Tuesday, Expresso Yourself with Dawn, and MORE.

Reach out to anyone on our Leadership team with questions. We look forward to getting to know you!
