RICHMOND, Va. — Richmond’s most accomplished women are accustomed to being the most successful person in the room. But what happens when EVERY woman in the room operates at that level?
That’s the idea behind THE ROOM, an invitation-only community presented by The Privé Real Estate Group, which will host its inaugural gathering on Thursday, November 12, 2026, from 5:30–7:30 p.m. at the 3500 Westview Rooftop in Henrico, Virginia.
Designed for women who’ve built extraordinary careers and want equally extraordinary lives, THE ROOM brings together an intentionally curated circle of Richmond-area women for exceptional company, stimulating conversations, fresh perspectives and meaningful relationships that extend far beyond their professional lives: Wealth. Health. Family. Home. Relationships. Experiences. Legacy. …and what comes next.
After a decades-long career spanning law, the C-suite, entrepreneurship and luxury real estate, founder Judy Weber knows that professional achievement alone doesn’t create an exceptional life. What we achieve builds our careers. Who we surround ourselves with shapes the life we actually get to live.
“The women I’m bringing together are already successful, so they don’t need another networking event or a ‘lunch and learn’ teaching a business strategy,” Weber said. “It’s about what becomes possible when high calibre women are in each other’s company—not just to ‘do business,’ but – more importantly – to expand their worlds and enrich their lives.”
AN INAUGURAL EVENING DESIGNED TO BE ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY
The November 12 gathering kicks off THE ROOM concept & will bring together a select group of accomplished women from law, medicine, corporate leadership, finance, entrepreneurship and other professional fields for an intimate evening – where the guest list is every bit as compelling as the experience.
Guests will enjoy exceptional hors d’oeuvres, wine & engaging conversation, along with a featured presentation from Special Guest Daphne Maxwell Reid: actress, artist, photographer, designer and former model, her acting career spans more than forty years. Perhaps best known for her role as the 2nd Vivian Banks on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air TV series, she recently starred in the critically-acclaimed movie, The Cashier. She is deeply engaged in her community, serving on the boards of the Richmond Ballet, Richmond Forum and Legacy Media Institute.
We’re honored to welcome Safe Harbor as the event’s Impact Partner, an extraordinary Richmond nonprofit helping survivors of domestic violence, sexual violence and human trafficking find safety, healing and the opportunity to rebuild their lives. We’re equally delighted to recognize its Executive Director, Mary Maupai, and Board President, Kate Kelley, AVP and Associate General Counsel at CarMax.
A DIFFERENT STANDARD FOR WOMEN’S SOCIAL EXPERIENCES
THE ROOM is not organized around career advancement. It’s designed around something more expansive: the people, perspectives, and experiences that shape an extraordinary life.
The Inaugural Gathering is designed to create an atmosphere where remarkable women can connect naturally, exchange perspectives and enjoy the company of others whose experiences and accomplishments are equally compelling.
Future gatherings will introduce compelling women speakers and exceptional experts whose insights extend across issues of life that matter most to accomplished women—from longevity, wealth, and family to art, travel, philanthropy, relationships and legacy.
Each gathering will be thoughtfully curated, with the guest list itself playing a defining role in the experience.
“The women attending aren’t simply the audience,” Weber said. “They’re what make THE ROOM extraordinary. Imagine the conversations, the perspectives and the possibilities when every woman you meet has a remarkable story of her own.”
