In an exciting new partnership, Gonzalez Painters & Contractors is proud to announce our corporate sponsorship of the RISE: Embodied Leadership Summit for Women taking place at the Carolina Club on March 6th and 7th, 2025. This sponsorship aligns with our commitment to uplift and support the growth of women in our community, both personally and professionally. We’re thrilled to be a part of this meaningful event, which promises to “Educate, Elevate & Connect” women in ways that build confidence, leadership skills, and resilience for a brighter future.

Our logo has already been featured in Chapel Hill Magazine, on the official RISE website, and through the Chamber of Commerce’s email announcements. As a visible corporate sponsor, we’re excited to see our logo displayed at all RISE marketing events, symbolizing our dedication to fostering an inclusive environment for women in leadership.

Why We’re Sponsoring RISE: Chapel Hill’s Leadership Summit

RISE: Embodied Leadership Summit for Women is not your average conference. It is a groundbreaking 2-day retreat specifically tailored to empower women to “level up” both their personal and professional lives. This event emphasizes not only traditional leadership skills but also an embodied approach to business—a unique and impactful method that incorporates physical and emotional well-being into professional growth.

The summit’s theme, “Wealth, Wellness & Wisdom,” resonates deeply with us. At Gonzalez Painters & Contractors, we know that true success is multifaceted, encompassing financial stability, emotional well-being, and continued learning. The opportunity for women to engage in a space that emphasizes holistic growth and collective empowerment is an initiative we are honored to support.

Key Aspects of the RISE Summit

RISE goes beyond lectures and workshops; it offers a space for transformation, connection, and practical skill-building. Here’s what sets the RISE Summit apart:

• Inclusive Embodied Leadership
  RISE is structured to benefit women at all stages of their careers, allowing them to gain leadership insights and practical tools they can apply across their personal, professional, and community lives. Attendees will engage in somatic coaching and embodied business techniques, promoting holistic well-being to help reduce stress, burnout, and distress.
• Accessible Professional Development
  With a focus on affordability, RISE makes leadership training accessible to women from all walks of life. Many leadership conferences are prohibitively expensive, limiting access to only a privileged few. By keeping costs low, RISE ensures that every woman has the chance to engage in meaningful development opportunities.
• Individual and Team Development Opportunities
  Designed for both individual attendees and teams, RISE provides an opportunity for women to enhance their leadership skills alongside colleagues or fellow community members. It’s an ideal setting for team bonding and growth, encouraging leaders to invest in their own development while supporting the collective well-being of their organization.

2025 Summit Focus: Wealth, Wellness & Wisdom

This year’s RISE Summit will cover a diverse range of topics aimed at supporting women’s success across various aspects of their lives:

• Embodiment
  Learn how to incorporate embodied business practices to help alleviate stress and build resilience.
• Skill Development
  Engage in empowerment-focused leadership training that can be applied at home, in the community, and in the workplace.
