Meet the City Leaders:
Ashley Madore
Hello! I’ve lived in Connecticut for most of my life in Hartford County.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my dog Smokey, going to brunch, and exploring CT wineries and breweries with my fiance.
I am thrilled about the opportunity to expand my list of brunch spots in the Hartford area and meeting new people.
Joanna Pambianco
Hihi! I'm Joanna, and I can't wait to meet you!! I'm originally from Colorado and used to travel as part of my work, which led me to live in 7 different states, 5 different countries, and travel to 20+ countries.
I moved to Connecticut 4 years ago to enjoy a slower-paced life and haven't looked back since! After moving here, I started my own business as a virtual Executive Assistant and have clients that span across the US. I also work part-time as an Impact Specialist at Ritual.
I attended my first Gals that Brunch on 3/4/2022 and have met some of my closest friends through it. I have a rescue Chihuahua named Josefina who keeps me young and ages me all at the same time! I love to laugh, find beauty in crying, and love all things arts and culture. Let's talk about it!

Welcome to Gals That Brunch Hartford, where our hope is simple: that every woman who finds her way here feels warmly welcomed, deeply included, and a little less alone.
Under the leadership of Ashley Madore, and with the beautiful addition of co-city leader Joanna Pambianco, this chapter is passionate about creating meaningful community in Hartford through gatherings that feel joyful, genuine, and easy to step into. Our heart is to create the kind of space where women can come as they are, take a deep breath, and feel the warmth of being welcomed in.
If you’re a first-timer, especially if you’re coming solo, we want you to know this: you are exactly the kind of woman we always hope will walk through the door.
You do not need to know anyone beforehand. You do not need to have the perfect outfit. You do not need to arrive with it all figured out. You just have to come.
We’ll take care of the warm welcome, the open seat, and the reminder that friendship is still alive and well. We believe there is something so powerful about women gathering around a table, making room for one another, and building the kind of connection that reminds you that you do not have to do life alone.
Whether you’re new to Hartford, looking to expand your circle, or simply hoping for more genuine connection in this season, we are so happy you found your way here. We’re truly honored to keep cultivating a community that feels full of heart, beauty, belonging, and the kind of joy that happens when women show up for each other.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
