Welcome to Cospire!
We believe that by providing women with exceptional professional development opportunities, we empower their personal growth and well-being, enabling them to make strategic life choices and turn those choices into meaningful action.
About Cospire
Cospire is an initiative founded by Andrea, a seasoned professional originally from South Africa, who now calls Lake Tahoe, USA, her home. With a wealth of experience in supporting organizations and fostering community-building efforts, Andrea created Cospire to empower women in the Tahoe region and beyond. Through mentorship, workshops, and networking events, Cospire offers a platform where women from diverse backgrounds can connect, share experiences, and support each other on their personal and professional journeys.
Our Vision
Cospire was born out of Andrea’s vision to create a vibrant, inclusive network where women can support each other through every phase of life and career. In a region where collaboration is key to community success, Andrea saw an opportunity to build a platform for women to connect, learn, and empower one another. By providing a space where women from various industries and career stages can grow together, Cospire seeks to break down barriers and build a foundation of support.
The Heart of Cospire: Mentorship
At the core of Cospire is mentorship. We pair seasoned leaders with emerging talent to foster collaboration and provide valuable guidance. Through workshops, networking events, and one-on-one mentorship, Cospire helps women navigate career challenges, build resilience, and cultivate the leadership skills necessary to excel. We also celebrate the women who are already making an impact by offering them a platform to share their expertise and inspire future leaders.

Cospire is designed to be dynamic and adaptable, responding to the changing needs of its members. Whether women are seeking career advancement, a balance between their personal and professional lives, or deeper engagement with their communities, Cospire provides a space for all women to thrive. Through this initiative, Andrea envisions a future where women across the Tahoe Basin and beyond are not only supported but empowered to reach their highest potential in their careers, communities, and lives.
