EMERALD SUMMIT

Thanks for attending the 2025 Summit!

Long Island's Original Celebration of Women's Leadership & Professional Mentoring

The Emerald Summit is our foundation's largest fundraising event celebrating women's mentorship, leadership and community. Proceeds from this event assist in supporting our programs, providing scholarships and fulfilling our mission of creating future women leaders through generational mentoring.

We proudly present the prestigious Purple Pump Award to standout mentors and mentees each year, and honor an exceptional local woman with the coveted Leadership Award.

Enjoy exclusive access to corporate and artisan exhibitors, raffle prizes, surprise gifts and a curated selection of merchandise from local purveyors. All this, plus an atmosphere of elevated networking with hundreds of the region’s most dynamic and supportive professionals who believe in the gift of mentorship.
