Women’s Connection Breakfast:
A welcoming space for women
Friday, February 20, 2026 | 8:30am - 10:00am
Benedict’s Restaurant, 8181 E Arapahoe Rd, Greenwood Village, CO 80112
We are excited to launch the Women’s Connection Breakfast, a new gathering created for women seeking meaningful connection, shared understanding, and genuine support. This is an inclusive space for all women, whether you identify as neurodivergent, are a professional or business owner, a parent or caregiver, or simply looking for connection. You belong here, no labels required.
Our first launch event, in collaboration with Guiding Bright Minds, will focus on women’s brain health, exploring experiences many women quietly navigate, such as brain fog, mental fatigue, emotional overload, hormonal changes, and the pressure to keep going even when something feels “off.” We’ll create space to talk openly. The goal of this conversation is not to diagnose or fix but to normalize, validate, and connect through shared understanding and thoughtful dialogue. Following the discussion, there will be guided networking.
Speaker: Eve Boyd
Eve Boyd ignites belief in women who are ready to act but don't yet believe they can. As the founder of inspirationalEVE, she helps people break free from the inner critic, rewrite the stories holding them back, and take the brave next step toward radical self-acceptance. A two-time National Champion at the National Forensic Association Championship Tournament and Tony Robbins-trained coach who's been featured in Shape Magazine and on The Doctors, Eve knows firsthand what it takes to transform self-doubt into self-trust—and she'll show you it's possible for you too.

Neuro Inclusive Leaders Series: Is Your Digital Content ADA Compliant?
The NeuroInclusive Leaders Series is a monthly learning experience designed for employers, managers, HR leaders, supervisors, educators, and anyone responsible for shaping workplace culture.
Each session explores practical, real-world strategies for recruiting, onboarding, supporting, and retaining neurodivergent talent. Through expert speakers, case studies, and actionable tools, participants gain a deeper understanding of neuroinclusive practices that strengthen teams, increase retention, and create more equitable opportunities.
This series equips leaders with the knowledge and confidence to build workplaces where neurodivergent individuals feel valued, supported, and empowered to contribute their strengths.
This Month’s Topic: Is Your Digital Content ADA Compliant?
Presenter: Mara Waldruff, M.A., Embrace Access
When digital content isn’t accessible, people with disabilities are often left out. Websites, PDFs, and media that aren’t designed with accessibility in mind can make it hard to get information, take action, or fully participate. In this session, you’ll see common accessibility barriers, learn what to watch for in your own content, and get simple, practical tips you can use right away. We’ll also talk about how accessible design supports people with disabilities and makes digital experiences better for everyone.
Cost: $10 Members / $25 Non-Members
*Zoom link will be shared with all registrants 48 hours prior to the event. Please mark your calendar.
