This year’s theme is “Accelerate Action.” With the rise of global movements like #MeToo, the world is more aware of gender injustices. The theme calls for moving from awareness to action, focusing on measurable outcomes and long-term solutions rather than short-term, superficial changes. The campaign emphasizes the need to ensure that all women, particularly those most marginalized, benefit from the progress made.
We will hear from three women who have reached inspiring levels of professional and personal success, who are passionate about helping other women to achieve success in their own journeys, and who come from three different areas of the world, now happily settled in the St. Louis region.
