A Word For What’s Next

Barbara and Nancy reflect on ten years of the Women’s Forum — and challenge you to choose the words that will shape your 2026.

Thank you for being part of this community — past, present, and future. We’re grateful for the friendships formed, the conversations shared, and the collective commitment to creating a space where women can truly support one another. And we can’t wait to continue the journey together.

As we look ahead to 2026, we challenge you to consider:

What words will guide you? 
The word that grounds you.
The word that reminds you of what matters most.
The word that helps you move forward with confidence.

Please join our ​​2026 events​​.

Please let us know if you would like to have a conversation with us. Email the Women’s Forum with any questions at womensforum@creativeplanning.com!
