The Women’s Leadership Luncheon is the School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) annual event that takes place in March, recognizing the unique contributions women make in our world. Started in the late 1990s, the event is held across the Central Pacific Province; Dallas, Milwaukee, St. Louis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

The focus of the 2024 Women’s Leadership Luncheon celebrates the theme, Women as Peacemakers in a Fractured World of Violence. Our aim is to focus on the impact Peacemakers are making in our communities, and how the work they are doing is inspiring others to do the same. You only need to turn on the TV or radio or open the newspaper to see that our communities are fractured. We will navigate through the good work others are doing and rise to the occasion to bridge a path forward together.

Every year a different theme or focus is chosen. Knowledgeable, local speakers educate and empower our guests to become more effective leaders within their communities. The attendees can expect to walk away being inspired with a passion to bring change within themselves and others. As a result of our luncheons, relationships are formed and strengthened between SSND and the wider communities. Join us this year and be a part of the celebration of Women as Peacemakers in our community. Don’t miss this important event.
