International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated every year on March 8, honoring women’s achievements and supporting the movement for gender equality.

Popular around the world, the day is now dedicated to recognizing women’s leadership at all levels and advancing gender equality as a civil rights and socioeconomic imperative.

International Women’s Day also continues to advocate for gender equality in business, cultivating discussions on its importance in thriving economies and communities.

In recognition of this important celebration, the Detroit Regional Chamber and Wellness Works partnered with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan to host a new International Women’s Day event that aligned with the 2024 theme of #InspireInclusion. Attendees spent half a day celebrating personal wellness and hearing from women about their career journeys.

This year’s revamped event format also featured unique wellness opportunities:

Created connections between your financial and overall well-being to enable your impossible dreams with presenting sponsor Community Financial Credit Union.
Heard a conversation among women business leaders moderated by WDIV’s Christy McDonald.
Networked, established new connections, and learned how businesses can benefit from the Chamber’s Wellness Works initiative.
