The Dames of Chicago
Prepare to meet women who are incredibly supportive and encouraging of one another. Women with zero sense of competitive. True collaborators, who show up for one another in all the best ways. We're your spirited cheerleaders, here to lift you to the top (but you won't have to wear one of those funky uniforms!).
Meet Ashley Quinto Powell
Chapter President
An entrepreneur of many years, Ashley Quinto Powell has fostered a network of fun, spunky, change-making women. Not one to be easily contained, she splits her time between Chicago Madison—so founding chapters in both was a no-brainer. “This community’s mission is so amazingly fitting with my own commitment to lift up women.” When she’s not supporting women in business, or sharing her insights as a national speaker - most recently for the Illinois Technology Association, Pinterest - you can find Ashley hiking, biking, covered in paint, or napping...yes, she sleeps! We were shocked too!
