Featured Women's Connection Event in NYC

“Inspiring Woman” - Dr. Mary-Claire King: Scientist and Humanitarian

Wednesday, October 7, 2026

Time: 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM (ET)

Location: Zoom

“Inspiring Women” is a monthly forum spotlighting extraordinary women who are relatively unknown. Led by a member of the NYC Chapter, each session will illuminate and celebrate an accomplished woman’s life's work. Come for the knowledge, stay for the inspiration.

October’s session will highlight the life and career of Dr. King. A geneticist who revolutionized women’s health with her discovery of the BRCA gene that causes breast cancer, Dr. King also used her knowledge of genetics to support the Argentinian “Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo” and reunite them with many lost grandchildren. We will reflect together on what makes Dr. King so compelling, exciting, and inspiring.

Spring 2026 NYC Chapter Newsletter

April invites us to reflect on the power of giving back, and in honor of National Volunteer Month, we’re celebrating the many ways Women’s Connection NYC has shown up through volunteerism. Through service, we discover something deeper. A renewed sense of purpose, meaningful connections, and the simple joy of making a difference. This month’s newsletter looks at volunteerism within Women’s Connection NYC from chapter leadership to personal growth to community impact—and highlights how these shared experiences have sparked new friendships and strengthened existing ones.

As you read on, we hope you feel inspired to get involved. Even if you’re just beginning to explore where you fit in, there’s a place for you to contribute, connect, and grow.
