Join us on November 10 from 7:00–8:00 PM EST for our next Spectrum Connect: Virtual Ambassadors – Professionals for Purpose, an engaging virtual gathering for professionals who want to use their leadership, networks, and influence to make a meaningful impact in the autism community. This month, we are honored to welcome Dr. Candace Holmes, presenting Regulated to Lead: How Nervous System Awareness Transforms Communication, Focus, and Culture. Designed for autism families, caregivers, workplace professionals, and leaders, the session will explore nervous system regulation, executive function, communication, and practical leadership strategies for supporting neurodiverse employees. Join us to connect, learn, and discover meaningful ways to turn professional influence into purposeful community impact.
