Who We Are
Polk County Women Mean Business is a dynamic community of women business owners in Polk County, Florida. Founded by Samantha Avila, our mission is to foster genuine connections, provide unwavering support, and empower women to grow and succeed in their business ventures.
Why We’re Here
In a world where business can be competitive and isolating, Sam envisioned a group where women could come together not just to network, but to build lasting friendships, learn from one another, and find the support they need to thrive. We believe in community over competition, which is why we welcome all women business owners—no restrictions, no reserved seats, just an open and supportive environment.

What We Do
- Bi-Weekly Meetings: Every two weeks, we gather to hear from one of our members or to dive deep into valuable business education. Our meetings are a mix of inspiration, learning, and practical advice designed to help you grow your business.
- Quarterly Socials: We believe in working hard and playing hard. Every quarter, we take time to unwind, mingle, and enjoy each other’s company in a more relaxed setting.
- Community Over Competition: Our group is about lifting each other up. We don’t limit the number of members from each profession because we believe that when women support women, amazing things happen.
