Two days of recognition,
connection, leadership, and honest conversation for women building full lives and powerful legacies.
Hosted by Amy Stasiukaitis, founder of The Helm, the Helm Summit is an elevated experience designed for mothers who lead at a high level and desire more than surface-level inspiration.
Built for high-capacity women navigating ambition and motherhood simultaneously, the Summit recognizes that motherhood is not separate from leadership. It shapes it.
This is a room full of women building companies, leading teams, raising families, carrying significant responsibility, and still asking themselves what’s next.
Helm Summit is curated by design.
You’ll gain access to:
Relationships that expand your personal boardroom
Practical strategies to increase capacity in business and life
Wellness and performance insights for sustainable leadership
Tools and systems that create greater freedom at home and at work
Fresh perspectives around influence, growth, and modern leadership
Greater clarity around the life and legacy you are building
You’ll also experience an intimate look inside The Helm itself, including the relationships, visibility, and support that continue for members long after the Summit ends.

The Chief Matriarch Dinner & Awards
An intimate candlelit evening of recognition, meaningful connection, and elevated hospitality designed for women who desire a deeper Summit experience. More than a dinner, this curated gathering offers a behind-the-scenes look into the heart of The Helm community.
Throughout the evening, we will honor five women whose leadership journeys embody the values of the Matriarch CHART:
• Clear Vision
• High-Performing Team
• Aligned Values
• Road Markers
• Time Intentionality
Award recipients are selected through nominations and voting by The Helm Board and community members.
Whether you are a longtime member or experiencing The Helm for the first time, this is an opportunity to step into the room, experience the culture firsthand, and connect more deeply with the women behind it.
