Connecting women, unleashing potential.

PARLAY HOUSE


Anne is the Founder of Parlay House, a community
of women who come together monthly to connect,
grow, and thrive.

CONNECTOR

Passionate about bringing women together, Anne Devereux-Mills founded Parlay House – a national affiliation of thousands of diverse women – to foster conversations, deepening connection between women and within themselves. Donned the “21st- Century Gertrude Stein”, she sought to shift this paradigm of relationships, from give-and-take networking to meaningful connection.

SPEAKER

Anne’s mission is to fill women with hope. Through her speaking engagements, Anne shows audiences how their actions, no matter how small, can impact the world, creating a cascade of change.

ADVOCATE

As an advocate, Anne dedicates her energy to achieving equality in education and restoring fairness to sentencing to California’s excessive Three Strikes Law. She was a key sponsor of California’s Proposition 36; served as Executive Director on The Return, an Emmy-nominated documentary; and serves as a mentor and leader with the She-CAN Foundation.
