BOSS January Gathering: Building Community while Preparing for LA28
January is about fresh starts — at BOSS our 2026 theme is Build, Belong, and Become..
No hype. No jargon. Just real-world guidance, shared learning, and genuine connection..
On Tuesday, January 20th, I’m thrilled to be hosting the next BOSS: Business Owners Sisterhood Social, a monthly gathering designed to bring local entrepreneurs together in a space where we can build, belong, and become — together.
BOSS isn’t a traditional networking event. It’s a community. A place to show up as you are, share what’s working (and what isn’t), and leave with both new relationships and practical insight you can use.
January’s BOSS Focus: Preparing & Registering for LA28 Opportunities
This month’s gathering includes a short, practical talk on LA28 preparation and registration. I’ll share what’s happening now, what’s coming next, and how local businesses, nonprofits, and community leaders can start positioning themselves.
With the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games coming to Los Angeles, opportunities won’t just appear overnight. The organizations that benefit most will be the ones who:
Understand how procurement, partnerships, and participation work
Register early and stay informed
Build relationships now, not later
At BOSS, we’ll talk through:
Where to find legitimate LA28 opportunities
What “getting in the game” actually looks like at this stage
How small and mid-sized organizations can prepare without being overwhelmed
No hype. No jargon. Just real-world guidance and shared learning.
A Timely Reminder: LA28 Ticket Draw Registration Opens January 14
In addition to business and community opportunities, there’s also excitement on the fan side of LA28.
January 14th marks the opening of registration for the LA28 Olympic & Paralympic ticket draw. It’s the first step for individuals who want early access to tickets.
Even if 2028 feels far away, this is one of those moments where early action matters. Registration doesn’t obligate you to purchase tickets, it puts you in the system and keeps you informed as plans evolve.
