Sponsored and hosted by the RTL Foundation

The word “herstory” reminds us that history is personal. It is built through grit, resilience, innovation and the courage to lead when the path forward is uncertain. Our inductees embody these qualities, and their stories deserve to be shared widely and thoughtfully.

Moderated by fellow inductee Jill Tietjen, PE, the conversation will explore leadership, perseverance and the responsibility of shaping what comes next. Through their reflections, we will honor past achievements and consider how their experiences can inform and inspire the next generation of Colorado leaders.

Guests will enjoy light appetizers and wine, a curated selection of inductee portrait displays and meaningful time for connection and community.

Honoring Herstory serves as an early cornerstone of our 2026 programming, setting the tone for a year focused on visibility, impact and engagement as we continue celebrating Colorado’s milestone anniversaries.

Together, we ensure that the extraordinary women of Colorado are remembered, recognized, elevated and amplified.

Tickets are available for $25 via Eventbrite.
