About Us

Parlay House is an affiliation of inspirational women who come together to connect, grow, learn and thrive. We take our life experiences and “parlay” them in new directions.

Our model is “opt-in”, where current members invite other people who they think would contribute and benefit. It’s up to each member to decide whether ongoing participation is right for them.

Parlay House NYC: Parlay with Power

About the Founder

The group was started by Anne Devereux-Mills when she relocated from New York to San Francisco and wanted to create new connections and interesting experiences that were not reliant upon work, children, or partners.

Through Parlay House, Anne Devereux-Mills helps women see that change is possible–and gives them a place to start. As a single mom, a top executive for many years in New York's competitive advertising scene, and a cancer survivor, Anne experienced challenging times. Through her efforts to manage these challenges, she found what was missing in her life, and realized how inspirational sharing experiences could be for others.

Anne’s mission is to share what she has learned: to see and value your own strengths and skills- and to then use them to help other women. Doing so creates a cycle of positive change for others as well as for yourself. It all starts with small actions that ripple larger over time.
