Bluebird Leaders

What Bluebird Leaders does

Bluebird Leaders is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Portsmouth, NH, that operates a membership-based professional community dedicated to advancing women in Information Technology, Healthcare, and Health IT. The organization's core deliverables are a mentorship pairing program with structured guides for mentors and mentees, a portfolio of branded networking events (Pink Feather Socials, Pink Feather Dinners, intimate invite-only Dinner Parties), an annual flagship SOAR Conference & Gala, and ongoing member programming including monthly meetups (PJ Parties, Color & Coffee, New Member Meetups, Portsmouth coffee meetups), monthly webinars, a book club, and wellness classes. Its stated values—Sociable, Open-Minded, Ambitious, Relentless (SOAR)—frame the community ethos under the 'Lift as We Rise' principle.

The organization monetizes through three primary streams: (1) individual annual memberships at $250/year (effective 2026), (2) event tickets differentiated by audience ($99 provider / $250 vendor for Pink Feather and SOAR events), and (3) corporate memberships and sponsorship packages ranging from $2,000 (Napkin/Drink) to $5,500 (Pink Feather Dinner), with named 2026 corporate members including CTG Inc, GoPixel Health, and Nordic. Distribution is primarily direct, supported by owned channels on LinkedIn, YouTube, and a set of podcast partnerships (BBL & The BUZZ, BBL & Consensus, BBL & This Week Health), plus earned media via HIMSS TV at HIMSS 2025.

Operationally, Bluebird Leaders is a community-led organization with no proprietary technology stack beyond Stripe-based ticketing and standard web/email infrastructure. Event delivery is in-person across multiple US metros (Long Beach CA, Austin TX, Boston MA, Cary/Umstead NC) with planned geographic expansion including a Bermuda retreat and a multi-city 'Altitude Series' announced for 2027. No parent company, institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, patents, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. Rebecca Nadeau is documented as author of the SOAR Prospectus, and the organization appears founder-led with a Board and volunteer structure referenced but not detailed.
