Who We Are
Go for the Greens Foundation was founded in 2007 by Cindy Chace and Diane Sears, two visionary women who recognized the need to create stronger connections between women-owned businesses and corporate and government opportunities.
What began as a one-day conference and golf outing has grown into a nonprofit organization that brings women in business, corporate leaders and future business leaders together through education, business connections, mentorship and shared experiences.
Today, Go for the Greens creates opportunities to build meaningful relationships through its annual conference, year-round programming, business-to-business connections, thought-leadership forums, mentoring initiatives and the game of golf.
