Innovating Marketing Group will host its annual Power of Vision 2026 Brunch on Saturday, March 7, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at River Oaks Galleria Med Spa in Houston, Texas. Held in recognition of International Women’s Month, the event honors women whose leadership is driving impact in business, health equity, education, philanthropy, and community development.

The event is produced under Innovating Marketing Group’s She Makes We initiative. The event brings together entrepreneurs, executives, and nonprofit leaders to highlight women who are not just excelling in their industries but are actively creating infrastructure and access while strengthening our communities.

While many women continue to face funding gaps, workforce instability, and healthcare inequality, the Power of Vision event is creating space to celebrate those who are building solutions and advancing equity through action.

“It is important to not only highlight these remarkable women, but to amplify the work they are doing to create equity across homeownership, education, healthcare, and economic opportunity. When we highlight their initiatives, we expand access to the resources and information our communities urgently need.”

— LaToya Hurley, Founder of Innovating Marketing Group
