Our Founding Vision
When Monica James, Crystal Gordon, Erin Bramblett, and Monica Parrott first came together, they quickly realized they shared more than careers in the insurance and disaster industries—they shared the desire for genuine connection, support, and community among women in their field.
"We wanted to create something bigger than networking," they reflect. "A space where women could support one another, grow professionally, give back to women in need, and build lasting relationships while making a meaningful impact in our communities."
Today, Ladies of Disasters continues to grow as a community built on empowerment, collaboration, leadership, and service—inspiring and uplifting women throughout the insurance and disaster industries while creating opportunities to impact lives beyond the workplace.
