Women’s Equality Day 2025
Women’s Equality Day
On August 28, 2025, we celebrated Women’s Equality Day with a powerful evening of community, connection, and inspiration. This special event featured discussions and programming that explored the theme: Stand Out, Speak Up, Disrupt the Status Quo. Our incredible guest speakers helped us reimagine what leadership, advocacy, and equity look like in Wisconsin and beyond. We also honored our 2025 Excellence in Advocacy award winner, Beth Hudak, for her unwavering commitment to advocacy and contributions toward advancing the status of women and girls in Wisconsin. Together, we celebrated trailblazers, changemakers, and bold conversations—honoring women across Wisconsin who are challenging norms, raising their voices, and shaping a more equitable future.
