InspiHER redefined what it means to gather with intention. Presented by MetroNational, at 990 Town & Country, this thoughtfully curated evening brought together women from across the city for an experience rooted in inspiration and community.
From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere felt elevated yet welcoming – an environment designed for meaningful connection. The evening began with a live performance from the Houston Symphony’s all-women ensemble, setting the tone for a program that celebrated talent, creativity, and shared experiences.
At the heart of InspiHER was a dynamic panel led by Suzan Deison, Founder and President of GHWCC, alongside panelists Lauren Levicki Courville, President of Dress for Success Houston, Jules Lairson, COO and Founder of Work&, Donna Lewis, Co-Owner of Tootsies, and Christine A. Mikulich, EVP and General Counsel of MetroNational. Together, they spoke candidly about their purpose, growth, and the navigation of both personal and professional journeys, sparking conversations that continued beyond the stage.
What set the evening apart was its intention. A charitable component in support of Dress for Success Houston, donating handbags to help empower women in the workplace, totaling 118 handbags received.
Joining the evening were inspiring leaders and changemakers, including Stacy Johnson, Director of Community Development at MetroNational; Beth Harp, CEO of Kids’ Meals; Jen Torres, Snr. Executive Director of March of Dimes; Madeline Lucas, Manager of Philanthropy at Memorial Hermann Foundation; Dawn Gunther, Publisher of Spring Branch+; Dionne Breen, Director of Development at GHWCC; Kamra Kilmer, Manager, Corporate Relations, & Karyn Mason, Development Officer at the Houston Symphony; and Katie Eisterhold, VP of Land at Dunn Exploration.
InspiHer will continue as an ongoing event series designed to connect women across Houston.
