out in their fields, and stand tall on the shoulders of the women

who blazed trails before them.

It’s an exciting—and still evolving—time

for women in business. Never have there

been so many pathways to success,

whether in corporate boardrooms or

through launching independent ventures and

professional practices. Here in our region,

especially, the landscape is rich with female

go-getters—women who lead, innovate,

and build on the legacy of those who broke

barriers before them.

a

A century ago, only about 20% of women

participated in the workforce, many in

domestic roles. By 1960, that number had

climbed to roughly one-third. The decades

that followed ushered in pivotal changes,

including the Equal Pay Act of 1963, aimed

at narrowing wage disparities, and a late-

1960s shift that made gender-segregated job

listings illegal. Still, it wasn’t until 1988, with the

passage of the Women’s Business Ownership

Act, that women could secure business loans

without a male co-signer—a milestone that

fundamentally reshaped entrepreneurship.

Today, women make up nearly half of the

U.S. workforce, and their presence continues

to grow in fields once largely closed to

them. Women now account for roughly

39% of physicians and about 41% of lawyers

nationwide—figures that continue to trend

upward. Entrepreneurship is also surging:

there are more than 14 million women-owned

businesses in the U.S., collectively generating

close to $3.3 trillion in annual revenue.

Progress is evident beyond the workplace

as well. The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano

Cortina, Italy, marked the most genderbalanced

Winter Games in history, with a

record 47% female participation—a striking

contrast to 1960, when women made up just

over 21% of competitors.

A key driver behind this momentum is

connection. Women have long excelled at

building networks, sharing knowledge, and

lifting one another up—an approach that

continues to fuel personal and professional

growth.

If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur—or simply

looking for inspiration, connection, and

support—these local events and resources

are worth exploring.

Hear from some of the region’s most

accomplished women leaders at the

Sacramento Women’s Conference:

Her Power, Our Progress, typically held

each spring.

Closer to home, Choose Folsom

hosts the annual HER Women’s

Conference, a full-day experience

focused on personal growth, wellness,

and meaningful connection through

workshops and speaker sessions (next

date to be announced).

The Placer Women’s Retreat,

presented by the Placer Breast Cancer

Foundation, offers interactive wellness

and lifestyle workshops, along with

community-building opportunities

(next date to be announced).

In addition, the following

organizations—along with local

chambers of commerce—provide free

or low-cost counseling, training, and

mentorship:

Together, these resources—and the

women who power them—continue

to shape a more equitable, dynamic

Jennifer Tommasini: Building Community Through The Gift of Kids

For over 20 years, Jennifer Tommasini has called El Dorado

Hills home. As a mother of four, her journey into business wasn't

planned—it was personal.

In 1999, after struggling to find the "right" childcare for her son,

Jennifer found herself disappointed by programs that didn't meet

her expectations. Rather than settling, she made a life-changing

decision: she would create the kind of childcare environment she

wished existed. That decision became The Gift of Kids.

What began as a small in-home daycare has grown into two

thriving campuses, including The Gift of Kids Nook, serving

infants, toddlers, and two & threes. Today, Jennifer leads a

team of 50 dedicated educators committed to exceptional care

and education.

Her programs emphasize strong curriculum, nutritious homestyle

meals, and meaningful community events. She is passionate

about staying on the cutting edge of early education, including

a deep interest in neuroscience and how children learn at their

highest potential. That commitment extends to her staff through

apprenticeship programs, stipends for higher education, and coaching

focused on best practices in early childhood education. All of this is

possible through her partnership with EDCOE

She leads by example. Jennifer returned to school herself, earning

her Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and a teaching

credential while continuing to take additional classes whenever

possible.

Family has always been at the heart of Jennifer's journey. Her daughter,

a CSU Chico graduate in child development, serves as director at the

main campus. Her other children have all contributed to the centers

over the years, making The Gift of Kids a true family endeavor.

In 2025, Jennifer opened a second location, and launched a

scholarship program for high school seniors who once attended

The Gift of Kids—a reflection of her long-term investment in the

community she serves.

For Jennifer, this is more than a business. It's a legacy.

916-234-3314 // sylvanlearning.com

Sara Yang is the Owner and Center Director of Sylvan

Learning of Granite Bay, bringing over a decade of

experience in education and a clear vision for how students

learn and grow. Her path into education was shaped by her

experience as a parent navigating the challenge of finding

academic support that was both effective and engaging.

Recognizing that gap, Sara built her center to deliver both

structure and confidence-building.

At Sylvan, Sara has created an environment where learning

is personalized, measurable, and motivating. Each student

begins with a comprehensive assessment, followed by an

individualized plan that evolves with their progress. Her

team supports students across reading, math, writing, study

skills, and test preparation, while providing structured

homework support that keeps students on track while closing

foundational gaps.

In just two years, Sara and her team have helped students

from kindergarten through high school achieve meaningful,

often multi-grade-level growth. She focuses not only

on academic progress, but on helping students rebuild

confidence and reshape how they see themselves as learners,

because that shift drives lasting results. For Sara, success is

not just measured in grades, but in how a student begins to

approach learning with confidence and ownership.

Beyond the Chamber:

The Women Driving Folsom Forward

n many cities, economic

I development, tourism, and

business advocacy operate in silos.

In Folsom, they operate as one — and

behind that unified approach is a

team largely led by women.

What began as a traditional Chamber

of Commerce evolved into Choose

Folsom, a cohesive model bringing

together business advocacy, tourism,

and economic development under

one vision, led by CEO Joe Gagliardi.

At the center is a team shaped by

diverse backgrounds and shared

purpose. Leaders like Sally Buchanan

and Shannon Robb position Folsom

as both a destination and a place of

opportunity, while Jennifer Cliff and

Rachel Clark ensure that story gets

told. Jody Franklin, Taryn Grows,

Haley Limpach, Sara Minnehan,

Taylor Reed, and Coleen Schwietert

drive critical roles in execution,

engagement, and operations.

“ It’s not about individual roles —

it’s about how we come together

to move Folsom forward. ”

Learn More: ChooseFolsom.com

What makes the model work is

collaboration. Tourism supports

business. Events drive economic

impact. Marketing amplifies it all. No

silos—only shared momentum.

While the team is largely women-led,

key male leaders play an important

role in bringing the full vision to life.

In Folsom, community leadership

isn’t defined by structure—it’s

defined by purpose.

Claudia Cummings is an icon

to our community. Her dedication

to H4H USA from day one

has helped launch a movement

advocating for those on the

front lines keeping us safe.

H4H USA is incredibly

grateful for Claudia’s

continued support. She has

been instrumental in funding

our Paw Platoon Placement

therapy dogs — highly trained

Crisis K9s serving police and

fire departments — covering

vet bills, training, outreach, and

direct support to fallen first

responders and their families

across the region.

When H4H USA answered

the call during the devastating

LA fires, Claudia went above

and beyond — sending

multiple donations to LA County

firefighters, animal shelters, and

local relief efforts.

People often ask me what I love most about being an Interior

Designer and it is the joy of working with clients and seeing the

vision come to fruition. The beauty is hearing what clients are

wanting their space to feel like and at the same time granting the

ability to stretch them into selections that make each space feel

unique and also inviting.

Suzanne Cook's leadership at Scott's Seafood Roundhouse

in Historic Folsom, California, epitomizes dedication and

resilience. Initially balancing roles as a stay-at-home mom

and part-time restaurant manager with her husband, John

Cook, Suzanne juggled event coordination, bookkeeping, and

community involvement, including PTSA and Girl Scout

leadership. The 2019 relocation of Scott's from Greenback Lane

to Sutter Street marked a pivotal challenge, compounded by

the pandemic and the losses of General Manager Tim Hughes

and co-owner John Cook. Now fully at the helm, Suzanne

exemplifies strength and grace, ensuring Scott's remains a pillar

of culinary excellence and community spirit.
