Forward Together: Advancing Women Progress Check

Speaker:

Lauren Feaster (Professional Dimensions)

Description:

Welcome back, champions of progress! It’s time to reconvene for an empowering session of reflection and accountability. Join host Lauren Feaster and colleagues across the larger women’s network as we revisit our commitments and intentions around advancing women. Through lightly facilitated dialogue and loving accountability, we’ll reaffirm our commitment to growth and continue to spotlight individuals and organizations paving the way for a more inclusive future. This gathering offers a nurturing environment where we can openly share our achievements and also any barriers to progress. Let’s strengthen our bonds, amplify our voices, and continue championing the principles of empowerment and allyship together!

Note: On March 8th, a variety of women advocacy organizations across the Greater Milwaukee region met to celebrate International Women’s Day and discuss pay equity. This event will serve as a follow-up on intentions around this topic and the advancement of women that we co-developed on International Women’s Day. Having attended the event on March 8th is not necessary to participate in this event.

Parking:

The Charles Allis Art Museum does not have their own parking lot. Public lots, street parking, and public transportation will be your best bets for finding a spot or getting to the Allis. 

The Allis obtained a special event parking permit to reserve street parking on the south and east sides of the Allis (on Royall Place between Prospect Avenue and Farwell Avenue and on the west side of Prospect by the Allis). Help us keep these spaces available for speakers, attendees with disabilities, or pregnant attendees! With limited parking, we need your help to ensure that those attendees have easy access to the Allis. If you have a disability or are pregnant and find a parking spot in the special event parking area, park your car and enter the Allis to obtain a parking pass. You’ll need to hang the parking pass in your front window. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation! 

Attendees able to park further from the Allis, please look for parking at the following locations: 

Street Parking 

• Available on Farwell, Prospect, and the cross streets including Bradford Avenue, Brady Street, and further west on Royall.
