Wisconsin Women's Health Advocacy Summit

press release: There's nothing like the annual Wisconsin Women's Health Advocacy Summit! Now in its 10th year, this amazing convening unites advocates, providers, survivors, policy makers and women's health supporters for a full day of networking, education, engagement and empowerment - all to help us collectively raise the status of Wisconsin women's wellbeing!

More than ever, women are being drawn together to resist the escalating policy threats to our health, safety and economic security. We're being called to persist and advance a proactive and positive policy vision that puts the needs of women and girls before politics. We hope you'll join us on March 12 in Madison for a impactful day to help unite and leverage the power of advocates who insist we be "in the kitchen" rather than "on the menu"!

This year's event will feature:

• A focus on helping raise the voices of ALL Wisconsin women
• An overview of our Executive Blueprint and Policy Rx
• Keynote by new Milwaukee Health Commissioner Jeanette Kowalik
• S.H.E. Speaks by:  Angela Lang, BLOC Executive Director, Vanessa McDowell, YWCA Madison CEO, Paula Tran Inzeo, Mobilizing Action Toward Community Health (MATCH) Group Director, Dana World Patterson, Foundations for Freedom CEO
• Panel discussions featuring youth leaders, women who ran for office in 2016 and environmental health experts
• LOTS of networking and empowerment opportunities
