Learn About Our Inspiring Panels
‍

Voice: Advocacy

There’s no limit to the ways we can make an impact using our voices. Learn how these women are using storytelling, journalism, activism, law, advocacy and social media to drive meaningful change from getting out the vote to building safe communities and more. How can you use your voice? Find out how to become a powerful advocate.

Body: Women’s Health

These leaders in women’s health are raising the visibility of women’s health and women’s health equity issues, running a hospital, founding the first all-women ambulance service meeting the specific needs of Orthodox women, deploying hygiene ambassadors across the globe and teaching us all about the benefits of good nutrition. Don't miss this fascinating conversation with these health care pioneers.

Soul: Israel

For many American Jews, a love for Israel is our bond. Israel is home to innovation, diversity and humanitarian initiatives. Join three women who will share stories of building support for the country they love through education, entertainment, technology, investments and more. Find new ways to act on your passion for Israel.

Mind: Women’s Empowerment

Empowering others is an extremely powerful way to create a ripple effect. We will hear from women leaders who are giving others a voice — from supporting women’s equality to holding those accountable who threaten the very principles of democracy, to giving women the support of sisterhood they need to succeed. What will you do with your power?
