Women in Leadership

0403_WiL Event Header

The 2026 Women in Leadership Panel brings our community together to hear from local women leaders as they share diverse perspectives on this year’s theme — “Honoring Our Legacy, Igniting Our Future.”

This year, Women’s Initiative celebrates 25 years of impact in the Greater Toledo community. We believe that understanding our foundation is what empowers us to mobilize and inspire women to become leaders, philanthropists, and advocates. Join us for an inspiring conversation with remarkable women who are shaping our community, and help us honor the legacy that has brought us this far.

Proceeds from this event benefit the Family & Child Abuse Prevention Center.

Wednesday, May 13 | 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. | The Summit
