General Information

We welcome new members! This is great group to meet new women. We meet from September-May. We rotate leadership, meaning volunteers select a podcast and lead the corresponding discussion. We ask members to listen to the podcast prior to the meeting, but encourage everyone to attend even if you haven’t listened to the podcast. Sign on to Zoom for a lively discussion promptly at 1:00 PM on the 3rd Monday of each month. Check out the list of past podcasts here.


Along with a discussion about the podcast, our meetings include a check-in from each member, thus allowing us to also take time to get to know and support each other. This group is open to all Women's Connection members. Nonmembers are welcome to join us a couple of times before becoming a member of Women's Connection. Meeting reminders with the upcoming podcast and Zoom links are sent several weeks ahead of our meeting to the Pod Squad group contact list and again a few days before our meeting.


If you are interested in participating or want to be on our contact list, 1) add yourself to the Pod Squad group or 2) Contact Jane Harens or Linda Grant using the Member Directory (choose Minneapolis/St Paul Chapter). If not a Member, please contact us with any questions you may have.


Event Information: December
On Monday, December 15th at 1:00 pm, Mary Howard will lead our discussion based on “I'm Not Disappearing: A Candid Conversation About Aging”, the November 17, 2025 episode of podcast IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson.


On this very special episode of The Look, a table of legends joins the show to talk about aging. Actress and activist Jane Fonda, former model and activist Bethann Hardison, and designer and businesswoman Jenna Lyons join Michelle Obama to discuss what it means to get old: to not just physically evolve, but also to come closer to our own purpose with age. Plus, they share their surprising advice about love.
