Business Women's Round Table

In this month's Business Women's Round Table, Kaye Monroe and Adrienne Stronge will lead an interactive workshop on equitable access and inclusive design. Together, they'll explore what accessibility really means today, beyond ramps, doorways, and design codes. They will also discuss how thoughtful design and inclusive thinking can transform the spaces and systems we navigate every day.

Through real stories, humor, and surprising insights, Kaye and Adrienne will spark a candid conversation about access and empathy in everyday environments, from considerations for aging and neurodiversity to recovery and long-term planning. Participants will leave with a fresh perspective and practical ways to promote inclusion and design thinking in their organizations and communities.
