Why Women’s Programming Matters
In these challenging times, creating spaces for connection and empowerment has never been more important. Nikki Warner highlights the transformative potential of gatherings like this:
"Women’s programming matters deeply to me because it builds the connections and trust that fuel real change. At a time when women’s rights are under attack and patriarchal systems are perpetuated, these spaces give us the chance to gather, share, and find strength in one another. They remind us that we are not alone and that coming together is the only way to create the change our communities need."

 

Join the Movement
The MFU Women’s Conference is more than an event—it’s a movement to create spaces where women can share their voices, support one another, and ignite change in their communities. Whether you’re seeking inspiration, connection, or practical tools for personal growth, this gathering is the perfect place to begin.

 

Mark your calendar, spread the word, and register today to be part of this transformative experience. Together, we can build a stronger future—one connection at a time.
