Negotiating in a flat structure
Hosted by Marguerite Ba, MD Risk
7 of 8 seats
Only Brunches and Lunches
Networking held in daylight, on purpose.
Evening events cost women disproportionately — caregiving hours, safety calculus, and an alcohol-led format that rewards the loudest person present. The OBL Club moves the room to midday and caps the table at eight.
Daytime
Between 11:00 and 14:00, inside the working day. No trade against family hours, no late travel home.
Collaborative
Tables of eight with a stated topic and a host who has done the thing. Structured conversation, not a room of business cards.
Clean intentions
No pitching, no recruiting, no alcohol-led networking. Members arrive knowing why everyone else is there.
The format is the differentiator. Mentorship can be replicated by any vendor; a standing daytime room that senior women actually attend is the part competitors cannot copy in a quarter.

Attendance counts
Vera advances with you. Two tables attended contribute to your next set of wings, and club attendance is reported to your organisation only as an aggregate engagement figure — never per person, never per table.
