2024 Women's Equality Day Luncheon

On Saturday, August 24, 2024, we will celebrate the 176th anniversary of the women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York in 1848 and the 104th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (woman suffrage) 1920.

The luncheon will feature an award presentation and a speaker.
