Every month we would gather together over food and drinks, then invite community experts to speak. We’ve had fascinating dinner-time presentations featuring Washington State Supreme Court Justices, fourth-wave feminists, women on corporate boards, farm-sourced food, STEM education for girls and women winemakers—a wide range of engaging and inspiring topics.

The Center is committed to supporting the participation of women in leadership locally, nationally and globally while respecting the political, economic, and social diversity in cultures worldwide. Food for Thought is designed to:

• bring women together to share perspectives and foster cross-cultural awareness;
• share the research and accomplishments of women making unique and influential advances in their respective fields; and
• foster intergenerational conversations around hot topics, while building a strong network of women who can help one another advance at any stage of life.

We usually met the third Thursday of the month. Dress is business casual. We start off with a social gathering at 5:30 p.m., then convene from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for food, drinks, speakers and a lively conversation.

Bring your voice, your ideas and your inspiration. We look forward to sharing food for thought with you.
