The Engage Conference breaks down geographical barriers, creating opportunities for women Veterans from underserved and underrepresented communities to connect, engage, and grow. By fostering an inclusive environment, the conference provides a platform to share resources, build meaningful relationships, and amplify the voices of women Veterans, ensuring no one is left behind due to location or circumstance.
Open to women Veterans, active duty, guard, reserve, and supportive organizations.
Learn about organizations in our area.
Light snacks and coffee in the morning, followed by yoga, lunch, and a discussion with neighboring counties about the Joseph P. Dwyer Veterans Peer Support Project.
This will be a great opportunity for everyone involved!
