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.
Thank you to those that made our 2025 Luncheon an event to remember! We look forward to celebrating and learning with you again in 2026. This event is free to attend but registration is required, so reserve your spot today!
