PARO is organisation a series of cluster innovation tables (CIT) to help women-owned companies in the consumer-packaged goods space scale. CITs provide space for women entrepreneurs to discuss obstacles to business growth, while community leaders and advisors talk about collective resources and solutions available.  Important to this process is developing collaborative strategies including potential policy, program and protocol alternatives that will work to make positive system change and increased gender equity.

The events are free and virtual.
