SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 | PORTLAND, OREGON

Inspire has been an opportunity to create deeper connections with members from different Chapters in our Oregon Regions. This year, we wanted to build upon that to develop a more meaningful and valuable experience for all of our members. Inspire now serves as the annual Women to Women Network conference, making 2024 the inaugural year for this exciting new venture! We hope members, far and wide, will join us in Portland, OR, for opportunities to meet women from all our Regions, create new friendships, and walk away from the experience with the inspiration to Ignite Your Passion.
