The Rooted Sisters

In 2015, Lisa Nichols (CEO for Technology Partners) and Cindy Owens (former CEO for the American Red Cross) founded The Rooted Sisters after searching for several months in St. Louis to find a place where business women of faith could come together to educate, equip and empower one another to live out our faith in the workplace. We started with three women and have been amazed by how God has continued to organically grow this community of female business leaders to where we are over 200.

Through God's calling, we launched the Christian Businesswomen's Breakfast in 2017 and have seen it grow from 325 women to close to 600 in 2021. In 2020, we received our nonprofit 501c3 status and have an active and engaged board of directors.

Today, God is expanding our impact and influence with the hiring of Cindy Owens as the new CEO and expanding our territory with Rooted Sisters in 13 markets including Nashville, Charlotte, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

The vision of The Rooted Sisters is to glorify God as an international network of women leaders and to create a movement where we can STUDY God's word together, GROW and become rooted in our walk with Jesus Christ and LEAD as God has called us in the marketplace, our homes and around the world.
