The LOLA Leadership Retreat in DC was an incredible experience. Being new to LOLA, it was especially amazing to connect with other leaders in person. The training was informative, practical, and inspiring. I learned more during that weekend than I did last semester. It was the first time I didn’t feel the need to compete with other women in an all women space.
And I can’t wait to go back next year!
And I can’t wait to go back next year!
I left the LOLA Leadership Retreat feeling empowered, educated, supported & even more determined to spread the truth about libertarian ideas & free market capitalism. I feel equipped with the tools required to successfully lead my chapter, inspire other women to join in on our cause & stay focused on what matters. I was truly impressed with the professionalism, organization & communication from the speakers, LOLA staff & our CEO, Nena Whitfield. I am truly grateful to be part of such a wonderful organization spreading the TRUTH about capitalism & empowering women to use their voice even if & when we don’t always agree with one another. I know I’m safe with LOLA. Can’t wait for the next retreat!
I have been a LOLA for many years, since 2018, and it was always about the ideas of liberty, the principle of building a network of women leaders who could advocate for freedom. It was all very rational, very clear in my mind. But the retreat in DC went from my brain into my heart. Meeting those amazing women from so many different places, in their own special way, spending time learning, eating and sleeping with them, hearing their stories, their fears, their joys, made me feel connected on a whole new level. It was the magic of remembering we are people, we are women, mothers, daughters, sisters, even spouses, and we have so much in common, so much to teach each other, so much to learn together. This is how I truly believe we can continue fighting for Freedom, because we know we are not alone, and these extraordinary LOLAS are always there, supporting one another, criticizing and even disagreeing when necessary, but always, always, holding out a friendly libertarian hand. That’s the most important lesson I felt in the retreat, amidst so many excellent classes and tools that we received. It was the feeling of belonging to something so strong, so powerful, that I can walk into any battle without fear. These LOLAs have my back, and nothing is more important.
Attending the Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA) leadership retreat in Washington, D.C. as a participant representing LOLA Asia was an experience that touched me at a profound emotional level. It’s hard to put into words just how impactful this retreat was. From the moment I arrived, I felt a powerful sense of belonging and unity. The women I met, from around the world, exuded passion, strength, and determination. We came together as strangers but left as sisters. The retreat provided an incredible space for us to bond, share our stories, and support one another in our personal and professional journeys in advancing liberty. The guidance and mentorship provided were not just informative but deeply inspiring.
I’ll never forget the emotional moments during our group discussions, where we shared our fears, aspirations, and dreams. We cried, we laughed, and we uplifted each other. It was a safe and nurturing environment where vulnerability was celebrated, and our shared experiences connected us on a profound level. As I left the retreat, my heart was heavy with gratitude. I had formed connections with women who had become like family to me. The emotional impact of this experience extended beyond the event itself. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of women supporting women, and I’m forever grateful for the love and empowerment I found at LOLA.
