International Women's Day 2023:
Bossed Up's Celebration of Colorado Women
Bossed Up is bringing together leaders across the public and private sectors for an International Women's Day event celebrating CO women.
WHEN:
Wednesday, March 8, 2023
9am-12:30pm
WHERE:
The Commons on Champa
1245 Champa St
Denver, CO 80204
WHAT:
Colorado was the first state to grant women the right to vote by popular referendum, and we continue that legacy today through policies that further gender equity - from pay transparency and paid family leave, to early childhood education and protecting women’s reproductive rights.
This International Women’s Day, join Bossed Up, a Denver-based women’s leadership development organization, to celebrate powerful women across the Centennial State.
Registration is free, but space is limited. Register below to connect with a dynamic community of women from across the state and hear from groundbreaking advocates who embrace gender equity across the public and private sectors.
