Join Women Making It Work for International Women’s Day 2026 as we explore this year’s powerful theme: Balancing the Scales.This signature annual event brings together women in business, leadership and community for bold conversation, meaningful connection and purposeful action.
Back by popular request, Professor Mimmie-Claudine Watts returns as keynote speaker. Having previously inspired our community to think differently about women, power and bold leadership, Mimmie now brings a globally informed perspective to Balancing the Scales — exploring equity, influence, leadership and the intentional action required to create lasting change.
