SA’s Woman of Stature Foundation to host entrepreneurship-focused event in July

The Professional Collective Summit 2025, organized by the Woman of Stature Foundation of South Africa, will take place in Sandton, Johannesburg, on July 3. The purpose of the event is to provide professional women with the resources they require to succeed and grow their businesses.

Every year, on July 3, the Woman of Stature Foundation, a registered non-profit organization dedicated to fostering the next generation of female leaders and entrepreneurs in South Africa, holds its premier Professional Collective Summit.

The one-day summit, with the theme “Wholeness – The Optimum You,” will bring together female entrepreneurs, executives, thought leaders, and changemakers with the common objective of enabling women to lead holistically in the areas of enterprise, health, finance, and purpose.

“With less than 20 per cent of SMEs in SA being female-owned and the failure rate still alarmingly high, initiatives like this are critical to shifting the national economic narrative,” said Charlotte du Plessis, CEO and founder of the Woman of Stature Foundation.

“If we want to see real economic transformation in South Africa, we must support women-owned businesses. This summit will offer practical insights, powerful networks, and bold inspiration to make that happen.”
