Women in Workforce Luncheon

Learn, Connect, and Celebrate

The Women In Workforce Luncheon is an informative and engaging annual gathering. Each year, we honor 5-8 spectacular women in our community who are professionals in Human Resources, Human Services, and Workforce Development. A full day of celebration will include delicious food, conversation, and networking. The program features micro-learning sessions on topics such as improving systems, new methodologies, and enhancing a stronger connection between companies and a qualified workforce all while honoring local women whose life's work has been dedicated to supporting the community with impact.
