An exclusive community based women's club created to empower, connect, and elevate women in Chicago through networking and unforgettable moments.
Who We Are
The Women Behind NUDN
In 2023, four mothers of different ages, backgrounds, and perspectives came together with one shared purpose: to support one another. Despite their differences, they discovered a common vision — and that's how NUDN (meaning "eyes") was born: a symbol of seeing and embracing both our inner and outer worlds. Our logo represents the four directions: south, west, east, and north. Our women's club continues to grow each year under the leadership of our Founder, Namuun, and Co-Founder, Norovsuren. With a rotating president and board member annually, NUDN gives new members the opportunity to lead, learn, and grow together.
