For Women. By Women.
| Project Meridian Debuting September 2026 |
We are so excited you’re here.
We’re building something bigger than a network: a community where women form meaningful relationships, share what they know, open doors for one another, and invest in each other’s success.
Founded by Dr. Katie Richardson and Liz Chaves, two healthcare leaders whose careers span clinical care, healthcare innovation, communications, and community building, Project Meridian grew from our own experience and a shared belief that the right relationships can change the trajectory of a career, a company, and an industry.
We’re creating the community we wished existed—one built on genuine connection, shared knowledge, trusted support, and a commitment to opening doors for one another.
Because you shouldn’t have to build alone.
