Our Story.
In May 2021 ...
Six women in Overland Park, KS began asking,"What's next?" All highly motivated and collectively sharing several years of professional experience and a variety of skills, they were eager to enter the "middle stage" of life full force. As they searched for creative ways to meet new people and have some fun – all while fulfilling their desire to give back – they had a hunch there was an abundance of other middle-stage women with the same goals.
Connecting these women and working together to do good became their latest passion – and The Hive was born.

Our purpose.
Our name.
As our mission states, we love to connect women in the "middle stage". Our purpose is threefold:
-
Social – women need each other, perhaps more than ever in the middle stage of life – life is sweeter with friends along on the journey!
-
Education – whether it be transitioning to an empty nest, wrestling with menopause, aging parents or chin hairs – we have so much to learn!
-
Philanthropy – in everything we do, there is a give-back component to a non-profit – Social, with a purpose.
The Hive is the perfect name to capture the idea of a colony of women, working and socializing together to bring good to the community.
The bee symbolizes community, brightness, and personal power – all attributes we champion for women everywhere.
We are so excited to provide women the opportunity to make new connections, learn from one another, and give back to organizations that strengthen communities.
