Annual Tea Celebrating the Women in Business Mentorship Academy
Hosted by the Women in Business Council
Presented by Lickstein Plastic Surgery
Join us in celebrating the 6th year of the Women in Business Mentorship Academy at the Annual Tea on Thursday, April 3, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at The Country Club at Mirasol in Palm Beach Gardens.
This signature spring event honors the power of mentorship, leadership, and meaningful connection among women in business. Guests will reflect on the history and continued success of the Women in Business Council’s Mentorship Academy, Presented by Lickstein Plastic Surgery, and learn more about the growing Mentorship Alumni Group, Presented by Florida Crystals, which extends the impact of mentorship well beyond the program year.
A central component of this year’s Annual Tea will be a curated panel discussion focused on access to capital and funding pathways for women-owned businesses, reinforcing the real-world impact of mentorship at every stage of growth.
The discussion will explore how mentorship, financial access, and strategic support intersect to help women launch, sustain, and scale successful businesses.
We are honored to welcome Loretta McCarthy, Founder and CEO of Golden Seeds, who will bring a national perspective on women-led leadership, mentorship, and investment. She will be joined by Laura King Curran of First Citizens Bank, offering insight into traditional banking and financial pathways available to women entrepreneurs.
To ground the conversation in lived experience, the panel will also feature a Women in Business Mentorship Academy alumna, sharing firsthand perspective on how mentorship translates into tangible business outcomes.
As part of the program, the Women in Business Council will proudly present the Excellence in Mentorship Award, recognizing an individual whose commitment to mentorship has made a lasting and meaningful impact on women in our business community.
Hosted by the Women in Business Council, the Annual Tea is a once-a-year spring tradition where women — and supporters of women in business — come together for an elegant afternoon celebrating community, philanthropy, and progress. Guests are encouraged to embrace the tea theme with festive attire and hats as we enjoy an elevated experience with purpose.
This event serves as a major fundraiser for the Women in Business Mentorship Academy, supporting future cohorts of women leaders.
This event is not closed to men — all are welcome.
