Thank you for joining us on Thursday, May 22nd at the Hilton Chicago for an afternoon of networking, honoring, and celebrating leaders who have dedicated their lives to Centering Women’s Voices

We are meeting this moment with the resolve, tenacity, and strategy needed to both push back and to push us forward. At this year’s luncheon, we came together to advocate for strategic solutions to fight rollbacks, advance progress, and support working women.
