September 30 | Menlo Park – NorCal ASCEND Event

The PEWIN NorCal Chapter is excited to invite you to our 2nd Annual ASCEND Event on September 30, 2025 at Silver Lake beginning at 5:30 p.m.

PEWIN’s ASCEND initiative offers a truly unique opportunity for our members to engage with rising stars—exceptional mid-level LPs and GPs, nominated to join programming that connects them with our leaders and with one another. The evening promises to be both inspiring and memorable. The agenda will blend informal networking with thoughtfully structured conversations designed to spark the exchange of experiences, insights, and aspirations. Our vision is to create a space where this talented mid-level cohort can experience the power of the PEWIN community and begin forging the relationships that will carry them forward on their path to leadership. We would be honored to have you with us to help bring that vision to life.

Light fare will be served. Insights will flow. Connections will be made.

Please RSVP by September 19, 2025, and we will follow up with a detailed agenda for the evening.

We also invite you to nominate 1-2 ASCENDEEs to attend the event as your guests.  These rising stars can be from your institution or network.  Please complete the form for each nominee by September 10, 2025 so we can send out an invitation to them in short order.

Please let us know if you have any questions. We hope to see you and your ASCENDEEs in September!

Thank you to Silver Lake who is graciously sponsoring our evening.
