"Karen Drew brought incredible energy and inspiration to our Suburban Sports Group Women in Sports Group.  Her message about lifting up other women resonated deeply with the SSG team, leaving a lasting impact on everyone in the room.  She reminded the Women in Sports Group of the power of support, mentorship, and always asking "What's Next?"  Truly an unforgettable experience.

“Karen Drew has a commanding presence that immediately draws you in — and a message that stays with you long after the event ends. During Femology’s State of Female Entrepreneurship at NFL Draft weekend, she delivered one of the most memorable keynotes we’ve ever hosted. Every word was intentional, every moment anchored in purpose. She brings the perfect balance of inspiration and practicality — casting a bold vision while offering real tools for action. Her authenticity is unmistakable because she lives what she speaks. Karen doesn’t just connect with an audience — she activates them. Her story, voice, and leadership sparked something bigger than the moment itself. We’re still feeling the ripple effects — and that is the unmistakable mark of a true thought leader.”

— Meagan Ward

“Karen Drew is an essential part of our Women of Influence Summit. For the past five years, she has brought not only professionalism and energy but also a genuine warmth that sets the tone for the entire event. We can always count on Karen to be fully prepared and to create an inviting and engaging environment for everyone in the room. We appreciate what she contributes to the event, and attendees consistently feel connected, inspired, and uplifted—largely due to how she guides each moment with care and confidence. She is more than an emcee; she is truly an integral part of the experience for the hundreds of people who attend each year."

President & CEO, United Way for Southeastern Michigan
