We address topics critical to advancing women’s leadership, participation and representation. And we do it over a delicious meal with interesting women from all around our community. Join the conversation! 

Join us every month as we gather together over food and drinks, and invite community experts to speak. We will be announcing the calendar for 2020 soon. 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 field
  • Foster intergenerational conversations around hot topics
  • Build a strong network of women who can help one another advance at any stage of life

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