Women Who Lead
An AAF Seattle Women’s History Month Gathering Featuring Women Who Shape the Room
In honor of Women’s History Month, AAF Seattle invites our entire community to gather and celebrate the women who make our industry stronger, smarter, and more dynamic. This event is designed to spotlight and connect with the women shaping marketing and advertising in meaningful ways.
This evening uplifts women’s leadership while creating space for shared dialogue across our community. This isn’t about observing leadership — it’s about engaging with it.
Designed for participation rather than presentation, this experience invites you to step directly into the conversation instead of watching it from a stage.
The Experience: Power Circles
Rather than a traditional panel, we’re hosting Power Circles — small, facilitated discussion groups led by women who have navigated complexity, built credibility, and shaped influence in the industry.
Each circle anchors a focused theme, creating space for honest dialogue, perspective-sharing, and meaningful exchange across lived experiences.
Conversations unfold in timed rounds throughout the evening. You’ll rotate between circles, gaining new insights and perspectives at each table, while facilitators remain to guide and deepen their theme.
The result is dynamic, intentional connection — multiple meaningful exchanges in one thoughtfully curated experience.
Topics and themes to be explored include:
Navigating influence and credibility in complex environments
Women in a male-dominated industry
Negotiating power, compensation, and visibility
Leadership without sacrificing authenticity
Career pivots, reinvention, and calculated risk
Sponsorship, mentorship, and building strategic advocates
Setting boundaries while scaling ambition
Leading through uncertainty and organizational change
Redefining success on your own terms
The invisible labor often carried in leadership roles
Owning your voice in high-stakes rooms
Women Leader Facilitators to be announced
