In March 2024, RISE Financial Pathways proudly presents the 26th edition of the Power Luncheon, a tradition that began in 1998 to showcase the incredible work and achievements of a community-based organization that emerged in the aftermath of the 1992 civil unrest in South Central Los Angeles.
What started as a humble gathering has evolved into a prestigious event that shines a spotlight on micro entrepreneurs, social impact influencers, banking and corporate partners, and remarkable individuals recognized as "Trailblazers" for their outstanding contributions to their fields and communities. The Power Luncheon has become a platform for celebrating success stories, fostering partnerships, and honoring those who have made a profound impact on a local, national, and even global scale.
Held annually in March, coinciding with Women's History Month, the Power Luncheon also pays tribute to the remarkable achievements of women who have shattered barriers and achieved extraordinary goals in various spheres of life. It serves as a testament to their resilience, leadership, and unwavering commitment to making a difference.
This year's Power Luncheon will once again spotlight local entrepreneurs who are dedicated to serving high-need communities. Their commitment, perseverance, and innovative spirit have fueled the success of micro and small businesses, driving economic growth and creating opportunities in underserved areas.
Join us as we come together to celebrate success, acknowledge trailblazers, and honor the impactful work of individuals and organizations that are shaping a brighter future for communities near and far. The Power Luncheon 2024 promises to be a memorable event filled with inspiration, empowerment, and a shared commitment to creating positive change. Let's celebrate the power of community, entrepreneurship, and innovation at this year's Power Luncheon!
