Women 40+, Our Biz's and Our Careers... Future of DEI. There Is One

Real, deep conversations about careers and life with special guests and YOU in the cozy library of the Clayton Hotel and Members Club
About this Event

We're usually all about light, lively discussions with a side of laughs—but we’re mixing it up. This time, we’re bringing the same energy but with a sharper focus on tackling a topic that’s got a lot of people talking (and wondering what’s next).

DEI (yeah, we're going there) but with the P-word!!!

We’re cutting through the noise. Join us for a candid, no-fluff conversation on how business owners and women (and, yes, humans) over 40 can navigate the shifting DEI landscape, reclaim lost opportunities, and position themselves to get hired, get business, and stay relevant.

Guest: Expert Jamie Villarreal-Bassett (Director, DEI at Pinnacol Assurance)

Host: Barbara Brooks of SecondActWomen

See you there. Let’s talk. Let’s strategize. Let’s move forward—because DEI isn’t dead. It’s just finding its next act. We're here to help it along the way!
