Abstract: This article describes a collaborative inquiry creating spaces for networking and learning for professional immigrant women. There were two implementation stages: (1) a pilot study to identify a meaningful research focus, and (2) the creation of a "Comadres Profesionales Summit," a collaboration between community members and university researchers. The aim was to promote personal growth, social and human capital, and pathways for career advancement. Data collection included interviews, qualitative questionnaires, field notes, and videos. The collaborative inquiry cycle (framing the problem, collecting evidence, examining evidence, sharing, and celebrating learning) guided the writing of the study findings, which are presented through four themes: (a) desire to belong, (b) increased confidence, (c) aspirations and needed skills, and (d) future plans.
