Once a month, we have a meeting with a presentation about something invention related. Sometimes it's the creative part, like how someone came up with an idea. Sometimes it's the legal parts, like protection, patents, trademark, & licensing. Manufacturing comes up a lot, and so does marketing. We always enjoy our speakers, and we always learn from them. Questions are always encouraged, and our speakers share insights you can't get anywhere else. Before the meeting, you can visit with other inventors. New faces are always welcome, and if you have questions about invention or patents or marketing or ... there are usually members who can help guide you.

Polly Benson

Topic:
THE 3 I'S OF INVENTOR SUCCESS

In this engaging and practical presentation, inventor and entrepreneur Polly Benson shares how a simple occupational therapy tool evolved into LegiLiner®, a nationally recognized product used by educators, therapists and homeschool families across the country.

Using her framework, The 3 I's Every Inventor Must Master—Innovate, Imitate and Influence—Polly explores the realities of bringing an idea to market, navigating competition and building a business that lasts.

Through personal stories, hard-earned lessons and real-world examples, attendees will discover why some inventors struggle while others create lasting impact. Whether you're working on your first invention or growing an existing business, you'll leave inspired to think beyond the product and focus on something truly valuable.

Polly Benson, BA, OTR/L, is an occupational therapist, inventor, entrepreneur, national speaker, author and founder of LegiLiner®, a line of innovative handwriting, math, music and educational stamps used by schools, therapists and families worldwide.

Known as "The OT Handwriting Coach®", Polly has over 30 years of experience helping children overcome learning and handwriting challenges. Her invention journey began while serving students across multiple schools and searching for a faster way to create handwriting lines. What started as a simple prototype built from a Rollagraph stamp evolved into a thriving product company serving the U.S. and internationally.

Polly's story and entrepreneurial journey have been featured on Legacy Makers TV, Inventors Digest magazine, numerous podcasts, educational conferences and national speaking events. Her products have been sold through major retailers and educational distributors, including Staples stores nationwide.
