September Coffee & Conversation 2025

September 25, 2025 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM (CDT)

Description


Join us bright and early for breakfast and conversation. It is a great way to start your day. Let's meet at 7:30 am with fellow WIBA members as we have coffee and network, then get seated for breakfast and continue valuable conversations. 

Continuing with our Community Impact Month, we will hear from Katherine Lewis, Program Director at HopeNet.

Katherine is a devoted wife and mom of four who finds joy in spending time with her family and trail running in the great outdoors. Her favorite dish? Pad Kee Mao, a spicy and savory Thai classic!

She began her college journey in New York City but soon discovered that Wichita was the place where her heart—and calling—truly belonged. Katherine was introduced to HopeNet by a board member who recognized her passion and believed she’d be a perfect fit for the team.

Since joining HopeNet, Katherine describes her experience as monumental in shaping both her professional life and personal mission. Counseling has been deeply transformational for her, and now she feels honored to offer that same life-changing support to others:

“It’s a privilege to help people bridge the gap between their obstacles or crisis and step into their full potential.”

Katherine’s warmth, wisdom, and wholehearted approach make her a trusted guide on the path to healing and growth.
