About fem

Founded by women for women

Founded in 2023 by a group of passionate small business owners, Female Entrepreneurs of Midland (FEM) emerged to foster collaboration and connection in the Permian Basin. What began as a simple idea quickly evolved into a thriving community. FEM was built with the vision of creating a space where independent business owners could lean on each other for advice, resources, support, and, above all, friendship.

Running a small business can often feel isolating, like navigating an island with no guide and a lot of hope. By uniting and supporting each other, we build a strong network that empowers success through collaboration and uplifting one another.

Mission

At Female Entrepreneurs of Midland (FEM), our mission is to cultivate a dynamic and inclusive community dedicated to empowering, supporting, and elevating women in business. We achieve this by providing accessible resources, fostering meaningful connections, and creating diverse opportunities for professional advancement and personal development. We are committed to igniting potential, building a supportive environment where every woman feels seen, valued, and equipped to thrive, and driving growth, collaboration, and success for female founders, business owners, and professionals in the Permian Basin and beyond. Beyond empowering our members, we are equally dedicated to nurturing the future female entrepreneurs and leaders of our world, while actively giving back to our community by supporting local non-profit organizations through fundraising, volunteer work, and strategic collaborations, making a profound and positive impact on the broader community we serve.

Vision

Our vision is to create a vibrant Permian Basin where every female entrepreneur is connected, powerfully supported, and equipped with the resources and collaborative spirit to achieve unparalleled success. We strive to create a future where our empowered community of women drives economic prosperity, fosters innovation, and stands as a beacon of positive impact, transforming not only their businesses but the entire fabric of our region.
