This year’s Summit welcomed the winners into the Mona Lisa Foundation, dedicated to accelerating women in Nashville on their entrepreneurial journeys through mentorship, grants, education, and community.

“I'm thrilled to announce Emily and Riley as our 2024 Mona Lisa scholarship recipients! Alongside the $3000 grant they received at the Renaissance Women's Summit, they'll benefit from a year of social media coaching, mentorship by five accomplished Mona Lisa Mentors, and more. Welcoming them into our foundation is an honor, and I'm genuinely excited to see the wonderful business innovations they'll bring to fruition!” - Sydney Dozier, founder of Renaissance Marketing Group, the Mona Lisa Foundation, and creator of the Renaissance Women’s Summit.
