About SITC
About Success
in the City
Known for its unique, fun and unconventional business networking events, Success in the City has been creating buzz since its premier event in April 2004!
Success in the City has grown to become the smart, upbeat professional women’s answer to the “good old boys” network. We operate on the premise that “trust and humor are key elements for women in developing meaningful friendships and, once those relationships are formed, ‘deals on heels’ are sure to follow.” Members are women entrepreneurs, senior-level executives and CEOs based in the DC metro area.
Who We Are
In just one year Success in the City has grown to more than 300 members!
While we are an organization by, for and about women, we hold a number of networking events with other business and professional organizations in the metro DC area. We are not opposed to the “good old boys,” but we celebrate the difference of being a woman and we create out own woman-to-woman opportunities.
Check out our calendar of events. We offer a variety of happenings - from monthly luncheons and “Chick Chat” interviews with successful business women to shopping excursions to New York City, and more.
The Birth of the Diva Movement
After relocating to the metro Washington region from Dallas, Texas, Cynthia de Lorenzi discovered that she was missing the personal support system of other successful women that she had enjoyed in Texas. So she decided to throw a one-time networking bash to meet some new friends. Success in the City was born!
Meant merely as a razzle-dazzle Texas-style party to say goodbye to the successful “Sex in the City” cable network show, the party inspired the 70 celebrants to urge Cynthia to arrange for this type of fun again and again!
Cynthia was joined by other organizers Lana Bian, Pat Maccini, Tracey Oskey and Amy Campbell to create an event-driven organization which offers friendship, fun and social opportunities for professional women to congregate and get to know each other.
The term “diva” derives from the Italian word for goddess or fine lady. It describes women of rare, outstanding talent. Cynthia adopted the term to describe the type of women she wanted to attract to her unconventional networking organization.
