2026 Women’s History Month Luncheon
The Commission on the Status of Women will host the 2026 Women’s History Month Luncheon on Wednesday, March 25th, 2026 at the Monroe Convention Center, located at 302 S. College Ave. in Bloomington.
The National Women’s History Month theme for 2026 is "Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future.” This theme honors the women who have and are reimagining and rebuilding systems to insure long-term sustainability - environmental, economic, educational, and societal. It recognizes the powerful leadership of women in creating a future that is rooted in opportunity for all.
The luncheon will also recognize the 2026 Women’s Achievement Award winners, which include the following award categories: 2026 Woman of the Year, the Toby Strout Lifetime Contribution Award, the Emerging Leader Award, and the Young Woman of the Year.
REGISTER TODAY FOR AN EXHIBIT SPACE OR TO SPONSOR THE LUNCHEON!
Exhibits: An exhibit allows you to share your message, product or service with others who share your dedication and passion about women’s issues. Exhibits will be located between the buffet and dining tables. We have 18 exhibit table spaces available on a first come, first served basis, so get your reservations in early. Exhibit tables will be draped with black table cloths. Please let us know if you will need an electrical outlet. The doors open to the public at 11:15 a.m. and we ask that you have your exhibit table set up by 11 a.m. The program begins at noon and ends at 1:30 p.m. You may not sell items at your exhibit table or place literature on the dining tables.
Sponsorships: Your sponsorship for the annual Women’s History Month Luncheon will help the Commission on the Status of Women recognize women who have made outstanding contributions to our community. We will recognize your contribution publicly at the luncheon, and in all media materials.
