Celebrate women's achievements and discuss the journey towards gender equality with the Women's Advisory Board of Mecklenburg County. Every August, Women’s Equality Day commemorates the ratification of the 19th Amendment, securing women’s right to vote in the United States. This year’s theme — Redefining Her Story: Bright Steps, Bold Futures — is an opportunity to reflect on the progress toward gender equity and spark conversations about the path forward for our community.

Join inspiring speakers, interactive workshops, and networking opportunities. Let's come together to empower and uplift women from all walks of life. Enjoy performances by a powerful vocalist, a spoken word artist, a skilled ceramist, and dynamic dancers. Together, they’ll bring energy, artistry, and inspiration to mark this special occasion.

The Women’s Advisory Board promotes the critical and emerging needs of women in Mecklenburg County through education, advocacy, and service. The WAB is dedicated to empowering women, fostering community connections, and creating opportunities for a more equitable future.
