Women from across North Texas gathered at the Loews Arlington Hotel and Convention Center for the 15th Annual Inspired Women Luncheon. The luncheon’s official theme, “Unmatched,” represented a mindset and commitment to challenge the status quo and embrace possibility, bolstering the belief that leading with confidence and decisive actions can lead to transformative change.

Keynote speaker Conni Reed, founder, CEO & chief creative officer of Consuela, shared the creative journey behind her values-driven company. Reed told the origin story of Consuela and how her artistic talent, paired with rugged authenticity, allowed her to turn her passion into a thriving nearly 20-year-old handbag business.

Headquartered in Austin, TX and Guanajuato, Mexico, Consuela operates on three guiding principles: Create Art, Support and Uplift Women, and Work in Mexico. Reed’s mission and enthusiasm closely aligned with the vision of the Women’s Alliance, reinforcing the event’s focus on believing boldly and acting decisively. 

As Women’s History Month begins, events like this serve as a reminder to celebrate the women who lead, mentor and inspire within the Park Place organization and in the community. Park Place recognizes the incredible women who continue to shape its culture of excellence and contribute to its success every day. 

Park Place Dealerships served as the event’s official luxury vehicle sponsor for the xx year in a row. Park Place Members Lexie Arzamendi, Sarah Celestial, and Josselyn Jimenez attended, taking part in networking opportunities, professional development sessions, and silent auctions.
