Arise! shines a light on the issues that continue to shape our community and the work that calls each of us to act. It creates space to examine the realities of racial and gender inequity, the need for economic justice, and the ongoing effort to support and uplift survivors of domestic and sexual violence. It is also a time to acknowledge the challenges that remain, to celebrate progress made through courage and compassion, and to move forward together in the shared pursuit of a more just and inclusive future.

In Her Honor is an annual luncheon that recognizes the women whose leadership, ideas, and vision help shape a more just, equitable, and inclusive West Michigan. This gathering brings together leaders, advocates, and community partners to celebrate women across our community, honoring the many ways womanhood and leadership are lived, expressed, and experienced.

Overview

A morning of insight, connection, and shared purpose. Explore the YWCA’s vision for a more just and equitable West Michigan.

Vision Forward: YWCA CEO Breakfast

Start your morning with inspiration, connection, and a look at the work shaping a more equitable West Michigan. Vision Forward brings together community leaders, changemakers, advocates, and partners who are committed to advancing social justice and strengthening the systems that support survivors and families in our region.

Deb O’Leary, CEO, will share a State of the Organization address that highlights recent achievements, current priorities, and the strategic direction guiding the YWCA’s next phase of work. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how the YWCA West Central Michigan continues to expand access to safety, healing, and opportunity while confronting the barriers that stand in the way of equity.

Why Attend

• Engage with leaders in conversations about equity, safety, and community impact

• Explore opportunities to collaborate and strengthen collective efforts that advance social justice
