Lead Where You Land
The Center for Women & Democracy is an organization that empowers women to lead where they land.
With our diverse community of powerful women we foster leadership development, provide a platform for underrepresented voices, build deep connections with each other, and offer opportunities for women of all backgrounds. Through discussion, education, and advocacy we amplify all women’s voices to create a more equitable democracy and world.
Igniting Hope Gala
This year our fundraising gala’s theme is Igniting Hope - in recognition that lighting the spark of hope and keeping it lit takes all of us supporting each other. Change and progress is not work we do in isolation - it takes a powerful community to keep the hope alive.
Join us on Saturday, December 7 for an evening of inspiration, connection, and purpose. As we honor, celebrate, and hear from our 2024 Leadership Award Winners we promise you'll leave the gala with more than just cherished memories. You'll carry a rejuvenated belief that even the smallest actions can spark powerful change. Together, let's ignite hope and transform lives! This is an unforgettable experience you won't want to miss, so please join us and buy your tickets today.
