The 49th State Women’s Forum: Unfinished Business

Unfinished Business November 18, 2023

Event Details

Join us for a different kind of women’s gathering. Now in its 4th year (the last two in an online space), the premiere gathering of mothers, business women, educators, law makers, entrepreneurs, activists, community champions and thought leaders is back in person and better than ever. Get ready for a day of inspiration, women-led panels, insightful discussion and really good snacks! We’ll network with our peers & learn about the latest women-centric data our state has to offer – straight from the experts. Join us as we prepare for the heavy lifting ahead. All of this, of course, while giving deserving props to the women already doing the work (we always make time for celebration)!
