Here in Hartford, the Women Leaders Association exists to empower women and to advance leadership in every shape it takes. Our mission covers more than building opportunities inside our own community; it also means actively backing women-focused initiatives run by other organizations. We gladly highlight events that share our purpose, from the Women's Business Development Council's Hartford meetups to Women-Owned Business Day 2026, and we urge members to take part widely in conferences and programs beyond ours. Because our own events often fill to capacity, we see outside gatherings not as a substitute but as an extension of our commitment to a lively, collaborative ecosystem for women’s leadership across Greater Hartford.

Organizers of the events listed below: please send any updates or corrections to Barbara (Service @ WomanLeaders.org), and tell us how we can further support your event, which advances our shared mission of empowering women in the Connecticut workforce.
