      <description>&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;Women of Color Co-Working Wednesday&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.pwocn.org/resources/Pictures/CoWorking%20Wednesday%20Flyer.png" alt="" title="" border="0" width="283.5" height="425" align="right"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2 align="left"&gt;Work. Connect. Build.&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your next client, collaboration, referral, or career opportunity could start with the woman sitting next to you.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Give your usual workday a change of scenery, some fresh perspective, and connections worth following up on.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join &lt;strong&gt;PWOCN and Tabor100&lt;/strong&gt; for a day where getting things done and getting to know other professional women of color go hand in hand. Work on your next big idea, move a project forward, and meet women building businesses, advancing careers, and opening doors for one another.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bring your laptop. Handle business. Make connections.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Come for a few hours or make a day of it. There’s room for your work, your ambition, and the conversations that could lead to what’s next.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, October 14, 2026 | 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Tabor100 Business Development Center | Tukwila&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Free with registration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Your October Lunch and Learn&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Nobody Told Me This Part&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;Taking Care of Yourself While Taking Care of Business&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Featuring Dr. Margaret Towolawi at Noon&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You know how to manage deadlines, make decisions, and keep things moving. But where does taking care of yourself land on your list?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This October, we’re putting a rarely discussed part of work and life on the agenda: &lt;strong&gt;perimenopause and menopause.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What should you know before changes begin? What might you be overlooking when life gets busy? And how can you better support yourself while pursuing the career, business, and life you want?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Join &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Margaret Towolawi&lt;/strong&gt; for a candid Lunch and Learn that connects the dots between hormonal changes and the demands of a full life. Expect practical insights, useful resources, and an opportunity to ask the questions you may not have had a chance to ask.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether you’re looking ahead, noticing something different, or already navigating this stage, come curious. Knowing more about yourself is valuable at every age.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your goals matter. So does the woman pursuing them.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Make Your Workday Work for You&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Move your priorities forward.&lt;/strong&gt; Give that proposal, project, or business idea time on your calendar.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get beyond the introduction.&lt;/strong&gt; Have time to learn what other women do, share what you’re building, and discover common interests.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make your work more visible.&lt;/strong&gt; Let people get to know your expertise, your goals, and the opportunities you’re seeking.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Find possibilities for collaboration.&lt;/strong&gt; Exchange ideas and resources with women across industries.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Invest in yourself.&lt;/strong&gt; Gain practical knowledge from Dr. Towolawi while connecting with women balancing ambitions and responsibilities of their own.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Who Will You Meet?&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Entrepreneurs. Career professionals. Founders. Executives. Consultants. Creatives. Nonprofit and civic leaders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Women with different experiences, fresh perspectives, and a shared interest in building relationships while moving their work forward.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Come on your own or invite a colleague. You don’t need a perfect pitch or a finished plan. Start with a conversation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Plan Your Day&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, October 14, 2026&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Drop in as your schedule allows. Join us at &lt;strong&gt;noon&lt;/strong&gt; for the featured Lunch and Learn.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tabor100 Business Development Center&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
7100 Fort Dent Way, Suite 100&lt;br&gt;
Tukwila, WA 98188&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your free registration includes Co-Working access, networking throughout the day, and the Lunch and Learn with Dr. Margaret Towolawi.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Put Yourself on the Calendar&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A project moved forward. A new professional connection. An idea you hadn’t considered. Information you can use.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Give yourself a workday with room for all of it!&lt;/p&gt;
