North Idaho, ID
Welcome to the North Idaho Chapter of Polka Dot Powerhouse! 🩷🧡
Genuine Women. Real Connections. A Whole Lot of Fun!
There's something special about finding women who celebrate your wins, encourage your dreams, show up when life gets messy, and make you laugh until your cheeks hurt.
That's what we're building here in North Idaho!
With 70+ members from across North Idaho and the Spokane area, our chapter is a vibrant community of women who believe life is better when we lift one another up.
We're business owners, professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, community leaders, retirees, and women navigating all kinds of life adventures. Some of us are building businesses. Others are building friendships, exploring new possibilities, or simply looking for meaningful connections.
What brings us together isn't what we do. It's who we are and how we show up for each other.
We're Not Your Typical Networking Group
Polka Dot Powerhouse is a Connection Community, and that distinction matters.
We're not here to collect business cards, deliver sales pitches, or compete for attention. We're here to build authentic relationships, share experiences, celebrate accomplishments, and create opportunities for one another.
We believe in abundance. There's room for all of us to succeed, and it's a lot more fun when we do it together!
Here's a little of what makes our North Idaho Dots special:
-
Genuine Connection: We get to know the women behind the businesses, careers, and busy lives. The relationships don't end when the meeting does.
-
A Culture of Encouragement: Big accomplishments, small victories, new beginnings, and difficult seasons. We show up for all of it.
-
Collaboration Without Competition: Our members share knowledge, resources, referrals, and opportunities because we believe helping another woman succeed makes our entire community stronger.
-
Personal AND Professional Growth: Whether you're growing a business, discovering your next chapter, or expanding your circle of friends, there's a place for you here.
-
FUN! We take our relationships seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Expect laughter, memorable experiences, and plenty of reasons to smile.
And here's something even bigger: Your connections don't stop at the Idaho border! Polka Dot Powerhouse membership connects you with thousands of women across the country and around the world through virtual gatherings, educational opportunities, and our annual global Celebration.
Come Experience the North Idaho Dots!
We offer several ways to connect, and guests are welcome to experience our chapter before deciding whether membership is right for them.
Monthly Chapter Meeting
Second Thursday of each month | 12:00–2:00 PM
Seasons of Coeur d'Alene | Downtown Coeur d'Alene
Our Chapter Meetings combine meaningful conversation, personal and professional development, and plenty of opportunities to get to know your fellow Dots.
Each month features a member speaker sharing her expertise, experiences, or fresh perspectives. You'll leave with something to think about, something to celebrate, and quite possibly a new friend!
Registration is required, and seating is limited.
More Ways to Connect
Beyond our monthly Chapter Meetings, North Idaho Dots enjoy a variety of opportunities to connect including member-hosted experiences, and social activities. Check our upcoming events and Facebook Page to see what's happening!
Walk & Talk Tuesdays
Tuesdays | 9:00–10:00 AM
Sometimes the best conversations happen while we're moving!
Our weekly Walk & Talk is a casual, welcoming way to connect with other women, enjoy some fresh air, and start your Tuesday with good company.
Members and guests are welcome. Check the event details for our meeting location.
Thinking About Visiting? We'd Love to Meet You!
You don't need to own a business, have a polished elevator pitch, or know anyone in the room.
Just come as you are.
Your first guest meeting is complimentary, meaning there's no guest attendance fee. Food and beverages, when applicable, are purchased separately.
A few tips for your first visit:
-
Register in advance. We recommend at least 24 hours before the event so we can include you on our roster and plan for your arrival.
-
Arrive a little early. Give yourself 15–30 minutes to meet some of the women before the meeting begins.
-
Bring something to share, if you'd like. Business cards or one piece of marketing material may be placed on our designated marketing table. We don't distribute materials at the seats during meetings.
-
Come ready to connect! No pressure, no sales pitch, and no expectations beyond getting to know one another.
For our downtown Chapter Meetings, parking is available in the Coeur d'Alene Avenue parking garage, approximately a block and a half from Seasons.
