GETTING STARTED

How it works

From signup to your first connection the process looks like.

Join HERizon Connect

Subscribe to your annual membership, download the app, and build your profile. Highlight your role, your interests, and the expertise you bring, not just where you've worked.

Explore & connect

Browse the member directory, discover events, and engage with Highlights from women across every corner of the sports industry.

Open new doors

What's waiting for you

What to expect

You'll get access to the right information, real insight, and women who are here to connect.

INFORMATION

The right information finds you.

Most resources for women in sports are scattered across newsletters, group chats, and conference announcements. HERizon Connect brings the relevant ones into one place, organized by your role, your sector, and where you're headed next. Less searching. More doing.

INSIGHT

Learn from the decisions, not just the outcomes.

The move from executor to strategic leader happens in real conversations with women who've navigated what you're navigating now. Members share the full story: the constraints, the trade-offs, what they'd do differently. That's what actually sharpens judgment.

INTENTION

Everyone here showed up on purpose.

This network is opt-in by design. Every woman here made a deliberate choice to bring her full self, not just the polished version, and to invest her time alongside women doing the same. You never know who's looking at that feed and thinking, she's dealing with that too.

The HERizon Connect platform is a well thought out space for women to connect and support each other. It's a balance of LinkedIn and Instagram, which I love, because you can share not only professional achievements, but personal trip tips, passions, or even ask for help.
