In the spirit of amplifying and celebrating women's leadership, we travel to Olympia, the Washington State capital, to meet with and toast the women serving in the current administration, on the State Supreme Court, and those in the State Legislature.

In partnership with the Washington State Women’s Commission, the KD Hall Foundation, and the Interagency Committee of State Employed Women we are delighted to invite you to Women at the Capitol 2024.

Throughout the day we will meet and speak with many of our incredible state workers and leaders, including:

Women at the Capitol 2023

In 2023, we organized busses to transport participants from Seattle to Olympia, and were brought on a private guided tour of the capitol building. We then gathered in the State Treasurer's office and met the State Treasurer, Mike Pellicciotti, State Supreme Court Chief Justice, Steven C. González, and State Supreme Court Justice, Debra L. Stephens. Where we had the opportunity to hear and learn from them, and ask questions about their work.

Our evening reception was held at the Governor’s Mansion, where the Governor Jay Inslee, First Lady Trudy Inslee, and Speaker of the House Laurie Jinkins all spoke.

We also honored nine incredible women who are working hard on progressing and protecting the lives of women and girls in Washington State. View the photos from last year’s event here!
