Women in CPG: Food for Good
Food has the power to nourish, connect, and transform lives. Few Colorado organizations embody this more fully than the Women’s Bean Project, our host for this year’s February event. For more than three decades, the Women’s Bean Project has served as a pioneering social enterprise, providing employment, wraparound support, and life-stabilizing skills for women facing barriers to work. Through meaningful jobs in food production, the organization helps women build confidence, independence, and pathways to long-term economic mobility.
Our keynote speaker, Shelby Mattingly, Executive Director of the Women’s Bean Project, will share her leadership journey and illuminate how food can drive systemic change when paired with dignity, opportunity, and community support. She’ll offer insights on what it takes to run an impact-driven enterprise and how our industry—startups, established brands, and service providers alike—can embed social good into everyday business decisions.
There will be light snacks and beverages available. Guests will also participate in connection-focused networking with leaders across the natural products ecosystem.
Whether you’re seeking inspiration, partnership, or meaningful community, this event creates space to deepen relationships and explore how our collective work can shape a more equitable and purpose-led industry.
