Hello and welcome to the Placer County, CA Chapter of Polka Dot Powerhouse! 

What IS Polka Dot?

Polka Dot Powerhouse is an amazing, totally unique Connection Company. Polka Dot Powerhouse is a worldwide community of positive, purpose-driven women in every stage of life who are committed to connection, collaboration and celebration.
 
We are a community of women who empower and cheer each other on, and we love to see each other hit our goals! We encourage members to support each other while building lifelong friends and business relationships.
 
We are a drama-free, smart, creative, resourceful, and, most importantly, positive group of professional women, entrepreneurs, new business owners, seasoned business owners, non-profits, non business owners, stay at home moms, empty nesters, or retirees.

 

Our Meetings

  • Our Chapter Meetings are held on the 3rd Friday of each month for lunch from 11:30-1:30 pm.
  • As soon as we hit 45 members we will be adding a second meeting every month, we're at 40 as of Oct 25.

Other Events

  • 2nd Saturday Coffee Connects, casual get-togethers at a different member's or women-owned business, 10:00-12:00. 

  • Virtual Speed Connects every other month on zoom - meet Dots from around the world.

  • Guest Open Houses, in person socials or other events hosted by members where you can share what you do or what you're passions are.

  • 1st & 4th weeks of the month, we typically have other member events, Open Houses, game nights, paint parties and Dot Socials at various locations. 

  • Members can also post and share YOUR events into our chapter's Facebook group, and in our monthly newsletters, and invite others to attend.

You do need to register in advance to ensure a seat and to be included on our roster as each meeting does have a cap on number of attendees. In turn, if you do register and end up not being able to make it we do ask you to cancel so that someone on the waiting list can take your spot. If you are a guest, your first meeting is complimentary to discover if our unique style of connecting is a good fit for you.

Tips to enhance your visit

  • Plan to arrive 15-20 minutes early for our lunch connect meetings to park and then connect with the other amazing women.
  • Bring your business cards and/ or one piece of marketing material. We have a special table for you to place them on.
