Empowering Environments: Women Leading Change in Our Communities
Celebrate International Women’s Day with us on March 11, 2025, for an evening of thought-provoking dialogue and meaningful connections. This year’s event begins with a dynamic panel discussion at the Boston Public Library, featuring influential women leaders who are driving change in our communities. Following the panel, we’ll transition to the iconic Fairmont Copley Plaza for a special networking reception to continue the conversation and foster new connections.
This year’s program highlights women leaders’ innovative approaches to fostering equity and inclusion across sectors. The evening is designed to inspire action, deepen community connections, and provide opportunities to engage directly with advocates and changemakers.
Doors will open 30 mins before the event begins, to allow for additional networking with other likeminded global citizens.
