Today our hearts are full of gratitude as we prepare to open the doors for tonight’s Women’s Event entitled, The Future is Bright.

Our mission is the same as the day we started: to build rooms where women in male-majority industries meet face to face, inspire one another, and influence their workplaces, communities, industries, and homes for the better. Tonight that room holds multiple generations, the women just stepping into these industries and the women who have walked them for decades, with wisdom and excitement rising to the surface.

A night like this only happens because partners step in and choose to invest in it.

Our Annual Partners, who stand with us across every event:
BOSS SNOWPLOW
Storm Equipment
Douglas Dynamics / WESTERN Plows
