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 Mission

 Women Breaking Ground empowers women to become real estate developers, investors, and leaders by creating a national coalition that connects, educates, and supports professionals working together to transform communities. 

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.
