AccessCircles Events

AccessCircles

AccessCircles is a by-invitation global network for women providing connectivity, knowledge, and access to thought leaders, resources, and experiences that transform our lives. 

Our primary areas of focus, Health and Wellness and Life Planning, are of intense interest to significant women as they make the daily and eventful choices that shape their lives, the lives of their families, and their future. 

As a 501c3, our mission is to provide education, thought leadership, and connectivity to create sustainable and meaningful change in women’s lives. We are also focused on creating a community that spurs dialogue, action, and transformation by enlightening and empowering women through the sharing of their collective knowledge and influence and by tapping the wisdom of preeminent thinkers and industry pioneers. 

As women are now living longer than ever before in society, we are focused on providing that the interface of health and wealth is fully understood by our community. We explore all resources to ensure that the cogent information, access to critical resources, and knowledge to live a healthy, productive, and purposeful life are readily available to us. 

AccessCircles has consistently hosted Health and Wellness Forums in unique venues each summer and winter. Throughout the years, AccessCircles has hosted over 300 transformational experiences. In addition, private retreats have been hosted at exclusive resorts and special venues around the world for our community and our alliance partners. 

AccessCircles was founded by Carolee Lee, the former CEO and founder of Carolee Designs, one of the world’s leading accessories brands. After the sale of her business in 2001, Carolee focused her passion and energy on women’s health and life planning issues with a vision to create AccessCircles.
