UPCOMING EVENTS
CalmHER: A Mental Health & Workplace Wellness Summit is a one-day professional development experience hosted by Dress for Success Northwest Arkansas.
Date: Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM–3:00 PM
Check-in opens at 8:30 AM
Location: Center for Nonprofits- McAuley Hall – 1200 W. Walnut St. Rogers, AR
This summit was created as a smaller, more focused extension of EmpowHER. After our annual women’s conference, attendees shared that they loved the variety of topics but wanted more opportunities to go deeper into specific areas, especially stress, burnout, boundaries, emotional regulation, mindset, and healthier workplace culture.
CalmHER is designed for women and allies who want practical, interactive tools they can use in their personal and professional lives. This smaller summit will bring together up to 100 attendees for a day of meaningful workshops focused on mental health, workplace wellness, boundaries, nervous system regulation, manifestation, and psychological safety at work.

The goal of UnderstandHER is to create a practical, interactive, and sensory-aware space for neurodivergent professionals and the people who support them in the workplace. The audience will include a mix of employers, HR professionals, managers, service providers, neurodivergent professionals, and allies who want to better understand how different brains work, communicate, lead, and thrive.
