On May 2, 2026, the India Society of Worcester (ISW)’s Women Empowering Women and Professionals & Entrepreneurs Network proudly hosted The LEAP Collective, bringing together more than 120 professionals, entrepreneurs, and students for a dynamic and inspiring day centered around growth, leadership, and community. Supported by the ISW Executive Board, the event created a vibrant space for attendees to learn, connect, and engage with accomplished leaders and professionals from diverse industries.

The conference featured nine distinguished speakers who shared insights on entrepreneurship, career development, leadership, wellness, and personal growth through keynotes, workshops, and coaching sessions. Throughout the day, attendees built meaningful connections, exchanged ideas, and strengthened professional relationships in an atmosphere filled with energy, encouragement, and collaboration. A special highlight of the event was the complimentary professional headshot session sponsored by myKidzDay, LLC, with nearly 80 attendees taking advantage of the opportunity.

The event was made possible through the generous support of community sponsors and partners including AbbVie, MathAltitude School of Mathematics, Central One Federal Credit Union, Westborough Fit Body Boot Camp, The Custom Hub, Chaitrali's Kitchen, and Young Indian Professionals of New England

After months of planning and collaboration, The LEAP Collective stood as a powerful example of what can be achieved when community, ambition, and purpose come together.
