We are a dynamic group of individuals dedicated to community development, female empowerment, and genuine connection — wherever in the world you call home.
Pavé is a French term for a diamond setting — gemstones set so closely together that no metal is visible between them. They cannot be pulled apart. That is our founding philosophy: a soulsisterhood of professional women built on genuine, unbreakable relationships.
Founded in 2011 in Orange County, California, what began as a local gathering of like-minded women has grown into an international movement touching lives across continents — from Orange County to Brisbane, from Iceland to Africa.
The Pavé Identity
Four non-negotiable values. Each letter of our name carries its own covenant with the community.
P — Philanthropic
Service to others is woven into the DNA of every gathering, every chapter, every initiative. It is not optional — it is who we are.
A — Authentic
No performance, no pretense. Our community is a sanctuary where professional women show up as their truest, most unapologetic selves.
V — Vivacious
A zest for life that is contagious. We pursue our passions boldly and celebrate one another without reservation or apology.
E — Empowering
Lifting each other through mentorship and access — rooted in the radical belief that there is more than enough room at the top for all of us.
Our World
Chapters, adventures, and connections spanning the globe — from intimate local gatherings to international expeditions.
Pavé Local Chapters
Private, curated local groups across the globe. Culinary adventures, arts and cultural gatherings, volunteer opportunities, and group travel — exploring the world together, intimately and authentically.
Paving The Way
Our mission-driven philanthropic subgroup. Local volunteerism, professional mentorship programs, and community-driven initiatives that create real, lasting grassroots change.
Global Adventures
From Iceland's northern lights to the savannahs of Africa, Spain, Belize, and beyond — Pavé members travel the world together, forging memories and bonds that last a lifetime.
Philanthropic Leadership
Pavé's commitment to civic engagement extends far beyond our gatherings — rooted in decades of structured, institutional service. Here are some examples that our CEO is a part of:
Junior League
Leadership roles across Pasadena (CA), Dallas (TX), and Orange County (CA) — bringing professional development and community impact to women nationwide.
AT&T Performing Arts Center
Auxiliary Board Member & Vice President of Events — championing the arts as a vehicle for community connection and cultural enrichment.
Legacy of Service
Genesis Women's Shelter, Broadway Dallas, DFW Network Chamber, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Big Brothers Big Sisters OC, and 24Hour Dallas — impact woven across institutions.
"Pavé Group is a safe space. Show up with kindness, an open heart, and honesty."

Our Values in Practice
Pavé is more than a social club — it is a living, breathing covenant between women who choose to show up for each other. Every event, every chapter, every volunteer hour is a testament to what women can build when they lead with authenticity and heart.
We welcome women from every background, religion, and corner of the world — united by like mindsets and a shared hunger for a life well-lived.
