Upcoming Events
Women Employed is showing up and speaking out for working women all over town. We’d love to see you at our next event!
September Advocacy Council
Mark your calendars and join us for our next Advocacy Council (AC)! The AC is a group of volunteers who organize monthly to network with our personal and professional communities about how to improve the economic status of women, remove barriers to economic equity and how we can do it TOGETHER.
We're excited to invite you to Women Employed’s FY25 Advocacy Council Kickoff Meeting, taking place in person on Wednesday, September 18th, from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m. CT at Women Employed's offices downtown Chicago, at 1 E Wacker Drive, 20th Floor Conference Room, Chicago, IL 60601.
This meeting marks the beginning of an exciting year for Women Employed. We'll take a moment to reflect on the incredible wins and successes of FY24 and look ahead to what's in store for FY25. This year is especially powerful as we harness this moment in history to propel our mission forward—ensuring women have equitable opportunities and a strong voice in shaping the future.
*Light bites and drinks will be provided as we make time and space to connect with fellow advocates and change-makers.
*Note: If you're passionate about attending but absolutely cannot join us in person, please reach out to Michelle Schwartz at [email protected] and we will find a way to include you.
