Attend a Women for Madison event
Show up and get inspired! Bring your friends with you — and meet new ones. Women for Madison's signature Regional Rally alternates every other spring with the premiere on-campus Women Who Amaze Summit. Regular offerings also include webinars, intimate fundraising circles and specialized pop-up events. They are all designed by volunteers, based on your input and feature women from the JMU community.
Save the Date!
Step into a space designed for collaboration and inspiration—a gathering that feels like a big circle where everyone connects, shares ideas, and grows together. At the heart of it all will be an energizing keynote by CEO of YWCA Rupa Murthy ('99), that will be sure to spark conversation.
