This group is a design for women to have a safe place for encouragement, support, sharing, talking, motivating, etc. When the world gets a little heavy or the people you thought you could count on disappoint, that's what we are here for. Remember "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

A WIG was formed to bring Austin professional women together to share knowledge, experience, and perhaps most importantly, questions and curiosity about investing.

We meet once a month to talk about topics including basic investing (i.e. stocks, funds, and all the rest), retirement planning (401-what??), diversifying portfolios (even if you don't have a portfolio yet...). The …

This group is for women 350 lbs and up who are tired of being embarrassed about their weight, tired of staying home and hiding, and ready to get OUT OF THE HOUSE to see what Austin has to offer.

The plan is to meet at interesting places around town, move a bit by doing some activities (that we are all able to do), meet for water exercise (po …

Want to learn how to code? Have a great idea? Don't be shy. Develop it. It can be intimidating for women to learn and ask questions when they are in an extreme minority.

We decided it was time to provide a place where all questions are OK and everyone can learn in a supportive environment. Our courses …
