About this Event

In Her Honor is a celebration of women whose leadership, ideas, and vision shape our community. This annual luncheon brings together leaders, changemakers, and allies to recognize the impact of women across every field, and to honor those who create space for others to rise.

This year, we are proud to welcome The Honorable Sara Smolenski as our keynote speaker. Judge Smolenski’s distinguished career and longstanding commitment to justice reflect the courage, clarity, and purpose at the heart of this event. Her voice will help anchor the day as we reflect on the power of women’s leadership and the paths they forge for others.

Rooted in the YWCA’s mission to eliminate racism and empower women, In Her Honor lifts up stories of strength, perseverance, and progress. Guests will hear reflections that highlight the power of women’s voices, connect with peers and emerging leaders, and engage in conversations about how we continue building a more just and equitable future.

Throughout history, women have been at the heart of progress by driving movements, strengthening communities, and transforming challenges into lasting change. In Her Honor carries that legacy forward by celebrating the women who lead with purpose today and by reaffirming our shared commitment to advancing dignity, opportunity, and belonging for all.
