From ten women at a Langley breakfast café to more than one hundred in the room.
Female Forward Collective started in summer 2024 as a simple idea — ten women around a table at a breakfast café in Langley, deciding it was time to get back into a room together.
No agenda. No pitch deck. Just real conversation between women who were tired of building businesses behind screens and hungry for something more grounded than a Zoom call.
That first table became a movement. Ten women became more than one hundred, and the breakfast café became Pitt Meadows Golf Club.
Female Forward is organized and hosted entirely by Meghan Simington — Fractional CMO, business strategist, and the woman behind every speaker booking, sponsor relationship, and community connection that makes this room what it is.
Women per monthly breakfast
Growth in 21 months
Founded in the Tri-Cities
Founded for connection. Built around an extended table.
It started as ten women around a breakfast table in Langley. This is what it became.
We do not believe in small tables.
Three ideas guide everything Female Forward does — in the room, in the community, and in every decision about what gets built next.
Lift while you climb.
Your success does not diminish someone else's. When you bring another woman with you as you grow, you build something more sustainable. This is not idealism. It is strategy.
Make a bigger table.
Scarcity pits women against each other. The table is bigger when more women sit at it, and your competition is welcome here.
There is enough for all of us.
There are enough clients, referrals and collaborations for every woman in this room, and we seat and welcome every woman that way.
