TechWomen Power Breakfast - January 2019
Operation Hat Trick, and Sheehan’s journey to success, are both based on an idea that was born as the result of a Boston radio station trivia contest question - “What is the one thing most wanted by head-wounded soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan?” The answer? Baseball caps to cover wounds, burns, swelling and bandages. Since this moment in 2007, combined with the loss of Navy SEALs Nate Hardy of Durham, NH and Mike Koch in Iraq in 2008, Sheehan’s brand has grown significantly. With roots in the collegiate space – when the University of Notre Dame urged Sheehan to take her business national – the University of New Hampshire was the first to get involved.
The mission of Operation Hat Trick is to generate awareness and support for the recovery of wounded service members and veterans through the sale of branded merchandise and products, including hats, apparel and other merchandise, proceeds of which are donated to selected organizations. Since 2014, Operation Hat Trick has donated over $1,000,000 to programs, supported by more than 1.6 million consumers who have made a “purchase with a purpose.” Operation Hat Trick is supported by over 350 leading universities, two living presidents, the NHL, NBA, MiLB, high schools and major corporations.

The TechWomen Power Breakfast series is part of the Alliance’s TechWomen|TechGirls initiative that builds on a strong community of women enthusiastic about technology and supporting efforts where girls are exploring STEM as a career or area of study. TechWomen|TechGirls holds programs for professional women to connect, collaborate and explore ideas around career development, technology initiatives, and innovation. The initiative also deploys volunteers and mentors to support academic STEM initiatives and events for girls across New Hampshire.
“We are excited to offer a place for women in the technology fields to come together and create lasting meaningful relationships while learning from each other’s successes,” said Candice Benson of Benson Consulting and chair of the TechWomen Power Breakfast committee. “We have a lot of brilliant women in our community and we are thrilled to be able to celebrate and support them with our power breakfast series.”
The breakfast series will take place on the second Wednesday of every month.
